I’ve been reading about these people lately. There are three sections to european genetics. Early hunter gathers from before 12000 years ago. The closest moderns to them are from north asia. Some of the DNA from canadian indians tracks with their dna.

About seven thousand years ago farmers from anatolia moved into europe. They interbred fairly evenly with the native hunter gatherers. So males and females alike shared in two sets of genes from the two peoples to varying degrees. The mixing was fairly even because while the farmers were more settled “civilized” —the early hunter gatherers were more healthy. They had a better diet.

Starting about 5000 years ago horsemen from what is now roughly the Ukraine pushed west into europe. They went all the way to Ireland and Spain in the west and Italy and greece in the south and scandenavia in the north. They displaced all the males of hunter gatherer and anatolian farmer stock. Every European man today is desended from these horsemen. They are our fathers. Only European women carry the earlier dna of the anatolian farmers and the early hunter gatherers.
