The abstract doesn't identify the Y-DNA haplogroups.

In the article it says that the Corded Ware were mainly R1a- (later says early Corded Ware Bohemia is R1a-M417). Corded Ware is from about 2900 B.C.

The Yamnaya ancestry is mainly R1b-Z2103. (Yamnaya culture of the steppe region north of the Black Sea and Caspian Sea is often identified as the culture of the Proto-Indo-European speakers.)

The Bell Beaker men (from c. 2500 B.C. on) are predominantly R1b-P312. But this decreases from 100% to about 20% in the "preclassical Unetice" period.

Lots of technical language. R1b is very common in the British Isles but the article says the Bohemian R1b and the English R1b cannot be descended one from the other but probably descend from a common ancestor somewhere in between, maybe in the Rhine River area.

I start reading this haplogroup stuff, and I really try to stay awake. I really do, but generally loose. They have to do a better job of explaining it to non- post doctoral genetics scientists.
