Genetic studies (Reich, Lazaridis, Willerslev, Haak) show that Yamnaya carried a mix of Eastern and Caucasus hunter-gatherer ancestry, the same "steppe component" later found in Mycenaean Greeks and Bronze Age Armenians (the earliest Armenian culture, Trialeti-Vanadzor, 2500 BC, derives from Yamnaya). Haak et al. (2015) showed Corded Ware was 70-75% Yamnaya, making it a northern offshoot. Lazaridis et al. (2022, Southern Arc) found Greeks and Armenians received Yamnaya ancestry via a direct southern route. Unlike Corded Ware, which mixed with northern farmers, Armenians preserve an early, direct Yamnaya signal. Linguistics also supports a Graeco-Armenian subgroup with shared innovations. Thus Yamnaya = Greco-Armenian core culture, while Corded Ware = source of most other Indo-Europeans.
