Abstract is ridiculous:
As long as they go with this pre-assumption about the whole Eurasian steppes dominated by "Iranic speaking Scythians" up until the Xiongnu period, we might very well guess how nonsensical the conclusion part will be.We find evidence of a highly dynamic population history; the Iranian-speaking Scythians that dominated the Eurasian steppe throughout the Iron Age (~1 millennium BCE to common era) emerged following admixture between Late Bronze Age herders of western Eurasian descent and East Asian hunter-gatherers. The steppe nomads later further admixed with Turkic-speaking groups of East Asian ancestry that spread westward across the steppe in multiple waves: firstly, the Xiongnu confederations that emerged in Mongolia around the 3nd/2nd century BC; secondly, the Huns (4-5th century CE)
Anyways, I'm only interested in the genomic data they'll provide.

Scythians weren't ethnicity and certainly not Iranians. Abstract has idee fixe to Aryanize the steppe herders. That looks more like a TA post rather than abstract to scientific paper. There is no scientifical proof for Iranianess of steppe peoples.
Another point is that Turkic-speaking groups weren't East Asian (aka Chinese) but Siberian in ancestry.
Oldest Scythian prince mummies are from Siberia (900 BC).

Oh yes. You attack people like me or even Poles (who are rarely pro-Russian) solely on the basis of ethnicty. You literally don't know me yet you say I have Mongolian ancestry which is scarce even in Volga Tatars themselves. My mother is a Northern Russian from the Vyatka region, it was inhabited by Mari and Udmurt people before Russians settled there. She gets 21% Finnish and 5% Siberian on FTDNA and on GEDmatch her mongoloid is mostly Siberian (+ Amerindian, Arctic, etc.) too, not East Asian. I don't claim Finnish ancestry but I obviously have some sort of Volga-Uralic stuff in me. I use Finno-Ugric for lack of a better term, not because I wanna present myself as part Finnish.
