Finally, we know the genetic structure of slab grave(deerstone)culture, one of the most important archaeological cultures of Mongolia.
The Slab Grave Culture was considered proto Mongol or proto Turkic or some kind of "altaic" for a long time.However, the results show that the Slab Grave Culture was rooted in Paleo Amerind(yeniseic) like early bronze age mongolia and its closest relatives was okunev-karasuk culture in the altay-sayan region.
Another important conclusion is that pastoralism in late Bronze Age Mongolia unlike the spread of Neolithic farming in Europe and the expansion of Bronze Age pastoralism on the Western steppe,it was adopted on the Eastern steppe by local hunter-gatherers through a process of cultural transmission and minimal genetic exchange with outside groups.
(Note:I do not believe altaic language family or common altaic ancestry.)
