In recent years the PIE-people have been linked to the Bronze Age Yamnaya culture , which was located
in Gimbutas’ proposed homeland. By comparing ancient DNA found in graves of the Yamnaya to the
genomes of people living across Eurasia today, it has been shown that most modern populations on the
continent share a considerable amount of genes (up to ~30-35%) with these steppe pastoralists,
although the proportion of this ancestry varies to an appreciable extent from region to region.
