Estonian Comb Ceramic and Corded Ware cultures inherited to us

Thanks for the new study "Extensive farming in Estonia started through a sex-biased migration from the Steppe" I have now great new samples from Estonia dated to 4,500 to 6,300 years before present and representing local Comb Ceramic and Corded Ware cultures.   I have made dstat-analyses pointing out the comparative presence of those cultures among present-day populations. The data consisted of 11 millions SNP's to ensure reasonable coverage between ancient and present-day samples.
