Summary

Description
English: Genetic makeup of the Saka and Scythian cultures:

The Scytho-Siberian world is characterized by an admixture cline between Western Steppe Herders (Steppe MLBA/Sintashta/Andronovo/Srubnaya) and Khövsgö LBA herders (Mongolia), with additional varying degrees of BMAC-like (Neolithic Iranian) ancestry.

Iron Age Turkmenistan/Uzbekistan and Kisrov Kushan samples displayed a similar pattern of Steppe MLBA and BMAC-like ancestries, but lacked the Khövsgöl LBA component.
