“Ancient genomic time transect from the Central Asian Steppe unravels the history of the Scythians” reported a few cases of rather recent (Iron Age) Sargat culture-related genomes, which alledgedly had such Upper Paleolithic branches as yDNA K-M2335/NO-M2313/NO-F549,F-M89,N-M231*, but they were only reported from the Iron Age period, but not from Mesolithic, for example. Moreover, some online Internet services neglected the statement in the existing scientific research about DNA preservation-dependent subhaplogroup classifications in the of Sargat-descended Uyelgi individuals as well as neglected the assignment of 83.3% of Sargat-descended Uyelgi individuals to yDNA N-M46 in the existing scientific research, and instead reported most yDNA N-M46-related Uyelgi Sargat-related samples as N-M231* having an affinity to yDNA N2-Y6503-affiliated ancient Wutulan Xinjiang branch of yDNA N-M231.

Despite the relative closeness of the Iron Age period to our age, living yDNA K-M2335/NO-M2313/NO-F549,F-M89,N-M231* bearers as well as modern bearers of other mentioned deep branches of N-M231 have not been reported from the geographical area of the Sargat culture and nearby adjacent areas, which supports the statement about the dependence of subhaplogroup classifications on the DNA preservation in the existing research.

However, according to “The deep population history of northern East Asia from the Late Pleistocene to the Holocene”, all available sampled yDNA N-M46-related populations in China (including yDNA N-F4205) share components, which point to the Early Neolithic Shandong Xiaojingshan-related autosomal component as an ancestor of all available sampled yDNA N-M46-related populations in China. Moreover, yDNA N-M46-related populations in China have a Xiaojingshan-mediated connection to yDNA F-M89-related population of the Guangxi Province in “The deep population history of northern East Asia from the Late Pleistocene to the Holocene”. Moreover, “Ancient Mitogenomes Reveal the Origins and Genetic Structure of the Neolithic Shimao Population in Northern China” reported mtDNA lineages, which are also observed in Sargat-related populations, and such mtDNA lineages of Sargat-related populations (for example, the Khanty-Mansi) additionally share mutations with mtDNA lineages, collected from yDNA F-M89-related population of the Guangxi Province. [the southern yDNA F-M89 should have also mediated the Palaeolithic deep-in-time connection of Xiaojingshan-influenced Arbulag/Sargat-related Bitiya populations with such distant tribes, influenced by yDNA F-M89, as the Ketengban population, which cannot be considered to be a population influenced by mtDNA D4 bearers, whose participation could have only produced a limited result for some reasons] Consequently, the reason for the appearance of deep yDNA assignments in Iron Age West Siberia can also be caused by the Palaeolithic yDNA N-M46-Guangxi connection, observed in “The deep population history of northern East Asia from the Late Pleistocene to the Holocene”.
