No, the first (original) wave of PIE from Maykop/Leyla Tepe who invaded and Indo-Europized the Yamnaya Horizon were partly Caucasian, partly Baloch folks. Native Caucasian auDNA is actually bordering the Yamnaya Horizon. So it has be that a lot Caucasian auDNA entered the Yamnaya with the PIE. Even due to some geneflow from Caucasus there would be alot Caucasian component in Yamnaya Horzion. There is more Caucasians auDNA in Northern Caucasus (CHG !!!), than Baloch compotent.We don't have genetic from this place, so lets not get ahead of ourselves.
Baloch yes, we see lots of it in the Steppe, but Caucasian is barely trickling. It look like Iranian Farmers were mostly Baloch admixtures went to the Steppe. Caucasian, which I'm guessing is like Levant Neolithic here, came later and slowly trickled down through Caucasus. Look at Rise samples, not much Caucasian there. It means that at the time farmers of Maykop crosse the mountains they had mostly Baloch admixture and nothing else.
Caucasian in this run is not Caucasian you expect. I think it must be Anatolian Neolithic, which came later to this area.
There was, nobody can deny it. In this run it shows in Baloch admixture in steppe people.
So, I'm not sure about ratio between Caucasus-Baloch of PIE from Maykop/Leyla Tepe that entered the Yamnaya Horizon. It could be that at that time the ration of original PIE from Maykop/Leyla Tepe was in favor of Baloch component.
Caucasian component in Northern Caucasus is from CHG!!!
I'm sure that Y-DNA haplogroups R1a* and R1b* were correlated with that Baloch component.
Afanasevo culture is older than Sintashta culture. That's why I take Afanasevo as example.
Afanasevo = 2.03 % Caucasian and 25.56 % Baloch.
100 / (2.03 + 29.56 ) = 3.166
2.03 x 3.166 = 6.43
29.56 x 3.166 = 93.57
East Iranians from BMAC who invaded the Steppes and Iranized the Andronovo Horizion were for about 6.43 % Caucasian and 93.57 % Baloch, that makes sense since BMAC was located not far from Gedrosia/Hindu Kush area.
The ratio between Caucasian/Baloch of West Iranian folks like the Medes and Persians was much more balanced..
