the arrival of the first steppe ancestry in Iberia shows both men and women arrived
but the men had huge offspring from several women, both with steppe ancestry and local
the women couldn't produce offspring as numerous as the men did

The Pontic steppe is in Europe.
There is no such thing as Europe as it's not even a continent. It's called Eurasia. And most of the pontic steppe isn't in what is today Europe proper, so yes, there was a migration into Europe, Einstein, atleast into Europe proper from the Caucasus , Central Asia, Steppe , Uralic area , more or less , which many people today, who also have invented the idea and concept of Europe, don't even consider Europe.
To get back to the point, there appears to have been very little migration from the Pontic Steppe in 3,000 BC, whether male or female, otherwise we Europeans would be heavily WHG today. It looks more as if migration was mainly into the Pontic Steppe from both West and East.
Can you explain the migration between yamna and afanasievo considering their WHG and GAC admixtures in your data? Looks like afanasievo have no WHG/GAC, but they do. Actually I think their origin seems to be east ural.

Can you tell me one more? Why does afanasievo and steppe maykop admixture become similar to eneolithic steppe?
The core readings of Eastern Yamnaya and Afanasievo look pretty similar to me, with (as you might expect) Afanasievo more Northern and Eastern-looking, and slightly less affected by Caucasian and Balkan-origin (probably Novodanilovka) admixture. Western Yamnaya is a rather different - much more heavily affected by local admixture (R1a pre-Corded Ware in the North, Cucuteni Tripolye in the South?)
Other than that - I don't know.
All of the Pontic Steppe is in what is considered Europe proper. You clearly got a third-rate Communist or ex-Communist education (assuming you even have an education)

Go cut me some firewood, boy.The Pontic steppe covers an area of 994,000 square kilometres (384,000 sq mi) of Europe, extending from Dobrudja in the northeastern corner of Bulgaria and southeastern Romania, across southern Moldova, Ukraine, through Russia to northwestern Kazakhstan to the Ural Mountains
These migrations certainly didn't relate to Indo-Europeans.
Can you tell me the difference between qpAdm and CP/NNLS model at the newest schythian paper, page 5? which one is more accurate?
In the paper, yamna kalmykia, samara have altai admixture in the hqpAdm model, not in CP/NNLS.

Archaeology, genetics, and language in the steppes: a comment on bomhard
david w. anthony:
"along the banks of the lower volga many excavated hunting-fishing camp sites are dated 6200-4500 bc. they could be the source of CHG ancestry in the steppes."
"the CHG mating network had not yet reached samara by 5500 bc."
"but the third Khvalynsk individual had more than 50% CHG, like Yamnaya.
The ca. 30 additional unpublished individuals from three middle Volga Eneolithic cemeteries, including Khvalynsk, preliminarily show the same admixed EHG/CHG ancestry in varying proportions. Most of the males belonged to Y-chromosome haplogroup R1b1a, like almost all Yamnaya males, but Khvalynsk also had some minority Y-chromosome haplogroups (R1a, Q1a, J, I2a2) that do not appear or appear only rarely (I2a2) in Yamnaya graves."

"Notice what Anthony says on pages 7 and 8, i.e., that the Anatolian farmer in Yamnaya came from Europe, probably from Tripolye and/or Globular Amphora. Therefore the ancestors of Yamnaya had to have acquired their CHG before about 5000 BC, because after that date the people in the CHG source regions (eastern Anatolia, the Caucasus, Iran) had their own share of Anatolian farmer dna, but without the WHG that characterized the Anatolian farmer from Europe carried by Yamnaya.
If the ancestors of Yamnaya got their CHG before 5000 BC, they could not have gotten early Indo-European from the same source, because the oldest possible date for early Indo-European is 4500 BC and probably later.
There goes the argument for a south-of-the-Caucasus IE Urheimat on both genetic and linguistic grounds."
It is interesting to know where J2 has a low frequency:

Horribly convoluted chain of reasoning based on oversimplifications, potentially false premises and two probablys.
1. We don't know that all of the 'Anatolian farmer' in Yamnaya came from Europe
2. To the extent that it did, we don't know whether it came from Tripolye, Globular Amphora or indeed some other culture (e.g. Varna)
3. We don't know that the ancestors of Yamnaya acquired all of their CHG at the same time
4. We don't know that Eastern Anatolia, the Caucasus and Iran were the only direct source regions of CHG
5. We don't know that all of the people in these regions had their own share of Anatolian farmer DNA
6. Some of these people did have the WHG that characterised the Anatolian farmers from Europe
7. Some of the Yamnaya didn't have the WHG that characterised the Anatolian farmers from Europe
8. Not all of the ancestors of Yamnaya necessarily got all of their CHG before 5,000 BC
9. We don't know for sure that the oldest possible date for early Indo-European is 4,500 BC
This is what can happen when people start off with a conclusion and try to work a chain of logic backwards to fit it.
