In their groundbreaking genetic study, Haak et al. (2015) identified the Eastern Hunter-Gatherers (EHG) as a distinct genetic cluster in samples of two males. The EHG male buried in Karelia ca. 5500-5000 BC was found to be carrying R1a1 and C1g. The EHG male buried in Samara ca. 5650-5550 BC was found to be carrying R1b1 and U5a1d. The authors of the study also identifed a Western Hunter-Gatherer (WHG) cluster and a Scandinavian Hunter-Gatherer (SHG) cluster, with SHG being intermediate between WHG and EHG. It was suggested that EHGs harbored mixed ancestry from Ancient North Eurasians (ANEs) and WHGs. The people of the Yamnaya culture were found to be a mix of EHG and Near Eastern populations. During the 3rd millenium BC, the Yamnaya people embarked on a massive expansion throughout Europe, which significantly altered the genetic landscape of the continent. The expansion gave rise to cultures such as Corded Ware, and was possibly the source of the distribution of Indo-European languages in Europe.[4]
