The DNA breakdown of Talysh people in Azerbaijan, as represented by the G25 analysis, reveals an intriguing genetic composition. The breakdown indicates a significant genetic influence from various ancient populations.

The breakdown is as follows:
- Iran Chalcolithic: 37.2%
- Caucasian: 22.8%
- Avestan: 20.6%
- Levantine: 14.4%
- Proto-Turk: 2.6%
- South Asian: 2.4%

It is noteworthy that the Talysh people exhibit genetic proximity to the Kurds of Turkey. However, it's important to note that when using G25, combining all Bronze Age samples together can lead to confusion, particularly with regards to BMAC, Kura-Araxes and Indus due to lack of all snps

Regarding the use of South Asian ancestry, it is based on research findings that have concluded that some BMAC individuals had South Asian dna upto 5% even

Evidence for dynastic succession among early Celtic elites in Central Europe

These include a close biological relationship between two of the richest burial mounds of the Hallstatt culture. Bayesian modelling points to an avuncular relationship between the two individuals, which may suggest a practice of matrilineal dynastic succession in early Celtic elites. We show that their ancestry is shared on a broad geographic scale from Iberia throughout Central-Eastern Europe, undergoing a decline after the late Iron Age (450 BCE to ~50 CE).

#Yamnaya and Horsemanship

Research paper concludes
Alterations associated with riding in human skeletons therefore possibly provide the best source of information. Here, we report five Yamnaya individuals well-dated to 3021 to 2501 calibrated BCE from kurgans in Romania, Bulgaria, and Hungary, displaying changes in bone morphology and distinct pathologies associated with horseback riding. These are the oldest humans identified as riders so far
