The new arrivals from the eastern Steppes who replaced the farmer Funnelbeakers “carried with them their ancestry from the Yamnaya, a livestock-herding people with origins in southern Russia.”

I wonder if they were Slavs or closely related.

I would love to see a TV series on the tribes of Europe.

No, they would have been Indo-Europeans at that point.

The Yamnaya culture were the Indo-Europeans.

The Western migration would produce the Germanic, Italic, Celtic, Slavic and Greek branches, among others.

It was the Germanic branch that moved into Scandanavia.
