ANE

ANE Ancient North Eurasian
Domestication of the dog in Siberia?

"It has been suggested that their mythology may have included a narrative, found in both Indo-European and Native American fables, in which a dog guards the path to the afterlife."

Tarim Mummies surprisingly found to be Holocene ANE relics with (near) zero influx of BMAC or Afanasievo ancestry!

ANE is "basal to modern day Europeans", deeply related to Paleolithic/Mesolithic hunter-gatherers in Europe, but not especially related to East Asians, and is suggested to have perhaps originated in Europe or Western Asia or the Eurasian Steppe of Central Asia.

Direct contradiction:

Bronze-age-steppe Yamnaya and Afanasevo cultures were found to have a noteworthy ANE component at ⋍50%. The ANE component was introduced to Western Europe by people related to the Yamnaya culture, long after the Paleolithic.[9][1] It is reported in modern-day Europeans (7%–25%), but not of Europeans before the Bronze Age.

Populations genetically similar to Mal'ta or Yana were an important genetic contributor to Native Americans, Europeans, Central Asians, South Asians, and some East Asian groups, in order of significance.

Eastern Hunter-Gatherer (EHG) is a lineage derived predominantly (75%) from ANE.[8] It is represented by two individuals from Karelia, one of Y-haplogroup R1a-M417, dated c. 8.4 kya, the other of Y-haplogroup J, dated c. 7.2 kya; and one individual from Samara, of Y-haplogroup R1b-P297, dated c. 7.6 kya.

Iran Neolithic (Iran_N) individuals dated ⋍8.5 kya carried 50% ANE-derived admixture and 50% Dzudzuana-related admixture,[14] marking them as different from other Near-Eastern and Anatolian Neolithics who didn't have ANE admixture.

Caucasian Hunter-Gatherer (CHG) is represented by the Satsurblia individual dated ⋍13 kya (from the Satsurblia cave in Georgia), and carried 36% ANE-derived admixture.[14] While the rest of their ancestry is derived from the Dzudzuana cave individual dated ⋍26 kya, which lacked ANE-admixture.

Ancestral Native American are specific archaeogenetic lineages, based on the genome of an infant found at the Upward Sun River site (dubbed USR1), dated to 11,500 years ago.[19] The AB lineage diverged from the Ancestral Native American (ANA) lineage about 20,000 years ago. (with later interbreeding, see paradoxon )

Lake Baikal Holocene - Baikal Eneolithic (Baikal_EN) and Baikal Early Bronze Age (Baikal_EBA) derived 6.4% to 20.1% ancestry from ANE, while rest of their ancestry was derived from East Asians!

If there is one meta aspect one can learn from the recently found 99% ANE component of the Tarim Mummies:
They must have been culturally very open to new ideas yet very restricted ancestry wise. They full heartedly adopted the whole Bronze-age-package without any(?) signs of interbreeding!
