No R1b-M269 or R1a-M417 has been found in the numerous amounts of samples from Armenia, Iran, Anatolia or Central Asia from the Chalcolithic and the Neolithic period. Only one dubious sample from Hajji Firuz tepe which has EHG admix and will probably be dated to around the same period as the 50% Yamnaya-like Bronze Age sample from the same site once it's carbon dated. Meanwhile both of the mentioned haplogroups have been found in Eastern Europe prior to Yamnaya.
And neither Maykop, Kura-Axes or Iran_Chl can be ancestral to Yamnaya cause they had way too much Anatolia/Levant input. So the CHG-like input in the Steppe predates those cultures and were entirely female mediated.
Not to mention most linguists place Early PIE somewhere in close proximity to Proto-Uralic ie somewhere on the Pontic-Caspian Steppe.
Also how strange would it be for PIE to originate somewhere around Armenia or NW Iran yet from all of the written records of the Sumerians, Assyrians etc tell us that the area was inhabited by non-IE speakers by atleast the early 3rd millenia until Iranian speakers show up. And why would pre-proto Indo-Iranian start of in say Armenia, head north of the Caucasus mountains onto the Steppes then migrate east of the Caspian sea and then make it's way down south to the Iranian plateau instead of just simply staying put lol.
