Your DNA Story Matches: Bronze Age Steppe

Around 3000 BCE, pastoralist groups genetically linked to the Yamnaya culture began migrating west from the Pontic-Caspian steppe into Europe, associated archaeologically with the spread of the Corded Ware culture. Ancient-DNA research, including work from David Reich's lab at Harvard, found this migration substantially replaced existing farming populations across much of Northern Europe — in some regions, by three-quarters or more within a few centuries. Your answers landed closest to the profile associated with this population.
