Yamna culture[edit]
According to Jones et al. (2015) and Haak et al. (2015), autosomic tests indicate that the Yamnaya-people were the result of admixture between two different hunter-gatherer populations: distinctive "Eastern European hunter-gatherers" with high affinity to the Mal'ta-Buret' culture or other, closely related Ancient North Eurasian(ANE) people from Siberia[21] and to Western Hunter Gatherers(WHG) and a population of "Caucasus hunter-gatherers" who probably arrived from somewhere in the Near East, probably the Caucasus or Iran.[22][web 1] Each of those two populations contributed about half the Yamnaya DNA.[23][web 1] According to co-author Dr. Andrea Manica of the University of Cambridge:
The question of where the Yamnaya come from has been something of a mystery up to now [...] we can now answer that, as we've found that their genetic make-up is a mix of Eastern European hunter-gatherers and a population from this pocket of Caucasus hunter-gatherers who weathered much of the last Ice Age in apparent isolation.[web 1]


This may not be 100% confirmed but it is fact that the Yaymnaya are Proto-Indo Europeans so if all these Hunter Gatherer groups contributed to Yaymnaya DNA then they must also be IndoEuropeans and must be offshoots of the Aryan Nomadic Cultures.

What does everyone think the best detector for admixture calculator for IndoEuropean ancestry is?

No one knows? Does anyone recommend and admixture calculator on GedMatch that is good for determining IndoEuropean ancestry?
