Finland has one of the highest Yamnaya contributions in all of Europe (50.4 %)

Shetlandic people, Irish, Norwegians, Latvians, Udmurts. Roughly over half yamnaya derived.

"Outdated" map (actually the study is recent but don't take in account the diversity of S.Italian, as I've shown in my threads), very false for S.Italy and Crete (but I can also say for a lot other countries).

One example : Tunisia has the same Yamnaya than Corsica ? Good joke.

What about Chuvash?

What about Chuvash?

They have significant Siberian ancestry, which takes away from their Yamnaya ancestry

So Russia roughly has the same as Scandinavia except for that specific pocket.

Scandinavians

How much Yamnaya do you score on Davidskis model? If you got your G25 of course.

In terms of single item distances it seems Mordovians or Ingrians get the highest overall affinity, but at high distance. In terms of overall highest contribution then Scandinavians or western Slavs. The trouble estimating the latter is that without proper sources Yamnaya can get inflated or deflated. East Euros in general can appear to have inflated Yamnaya ancestry if one doesn't include local hunter gatherers in the equation. Baltic people in particular have significant local ancestry from Narva_HG-like sources.

Udmurts have significant Siberian ancestry as well. It doesn't take away their Yamnaya like Chuvash does?

A (hypothetical) mix of Latvian/Lithuanian and Western Georgian (Svan, Megrel, Imereti). A badass master race mix :cool:

According to Ancient Origins myHeritage state my sister and myself 47.2% and 48.0% Yamnaya culture 3300-2600 BC.
