Estonian Corded Ware enigma
The following simple dstat-figure shows the mystery of Estonian Corded Ware samples released during this spring. There can't be any populational continuum from them to present-day Balts, including Estonians. All thousands years older hunter-gatherer samples are overwhelmingly closer present-day Balts. The change regarding HG ancestry can be seen in Western and Central Europe where we see a clear cut decrease of HG ancestry, obviously caused by increasing real Corded Ware and Bell Beaker ancestries. We have to compare pure Neolithic populations against Estonian CW samples to reach parity in the Baltic area. There is a tiny evidence about the given continuum; Finns are closer German BA samples than Balts, giving a hint that there could be some subtle continuum.
