Dominant Yamnaya lineage is R1b1a2a2 not R1a1a2a2
A genetic study published in Nature Communications in March 2017 examined several Sarmatian individuals buried in Pokrovka, Russia (southwest of the Ural Mountains) between the fifth century BC and the second century BC. The sample of Y-DNA extracted belonged to haplogroup R1a1a2a2. This was the dominant lineage among males of the earlier Yamnaya culture.[30]
The dominant Yamnaya lineage is R1b1a2a2 (R-M269) according to the referenced article. This lineage (R-Z2103) is the Y-haplogroup of the Yamnaya elite burials. Not R1a1a2a2 as stated.
