Genetic breakdowns for the Early Neolithic Hunter-Gatherers of Karavaikha
The Karavaikha site, located west of Lake Vozhe in the Vologda Oblast of NW Russia, is notable for containing some of the earliest evidence of pottery usage in Europe. Pottery likely spread from further east, with the earliest known evidence in Europe linked to the Elshanka culture of the Middle Volga region. This innovation appears to have spread rapidly westward along the Volga River, potentially reaching Karavaikha as early as the mid to late 7th millennium BC.
Genetically, the hunter-gatherers of Karavaikha seem to represent a continuation of the earlier Veretye culture, albeit with a minor increase in ANE ancestry. This increase is possibly connected to gene flow from pottery-using WSHG/EHGs from further east. Karavaikha samples exhibit strong genetic affinities to Veretye culture individuals, such as those found at Peschanitsa and Minino, as well as the Sidelkino HG from Samara.

🇱🇻🇱🇻The skull of a man belonging to the hunter-fisher Kunda culture in Mesolithic Latvia. Baltic HGs apparently had a religious use for the amber in their region and associated it with the passage to the afterlife. Baltic amber would play an important role in later European prehistory and in historical migrations. The men at the archaeological site of Zvejnieks had yDNA haplogroups R1b, I2 and Q. They were on a genetic cline between WHG and EHG, with a shift towards the former. 🇱🇻🇱🇻

Genetic Breakdown of the Dnieper–Donets Culture.
The Dnieper–Donets culture is often viewed as a broader cultural context that encompasses the Mariupol culture, also known as Mariupol-type cultures.
This culture, primarily located in the steppe and forest-steppe regions north of the Black Sea, is characterized by complex burial practices and social organization.
The Dnieper–Donets people exhibited diverse ancestry, with notable connections to both Western and Eastern hunter-gatherers, along with minor Caucasus hunter gatherer-related ancestry.
