A new paper and samples from Mentesh Tepe in Azerbaijan will be released. Will quote cite the short description in this thread.

"Genome-wide analysis of a collective grave from Mentesh Tepe, one of the early Shomu-Shulaveri site in South Caucasus" "The South Caucasus is at the outskirt of the Fertile Crescent, one the main centers of Neolithization. Despite this localization, Neolithic developed here only at the beginning of the 6 th millennium, and its origins remains unclear"

Short quoted thread. “Our comprehensive sampling shows that Anatolia received hardly any genetic input from Europe or the Eurasian steppe from the Chalcolithic to the Iron Age; this contrasts with Southeastern Europe and Armenia that were impacted by major gene flow from Yamnaya steppe pastoralists”

Map of spatial distribution of plague outbreak in Europe, and Northern Africa, 1347–1760 AD. Plague outbreaks are related to the patterns of trade routes, both overland and maritime, and also major trade ports in pre-industrial Europe. “Cities with recorded plague outbreaks are marked with red dots, with the size of dots referring to the number of plague outbreak during the study period”

SNPs among Yamnaya, Ancient Caucasian groups to determine skin, eye color and their percentages

The SNPs - SLC24A5 and SLC45A2 are
responsible for light skin pigmentation.

The SNP - HERC2 is the primary determinant of light eye colour. Yamnaya/Steppe.

Yamnaya skulls by Kuzmina (anthropological classification/description). Those of the Potapovka/Cataomb skulls are less dolichocephalic than those of the Fatyanovo–Balanovo culture, Abashevo culture, Sintashta culture, Srubnaya culture. Several tweets. Skulls from Potapovka burials belong to the massive proto-Europoid type and are similar to the earlier Catacomb

Evidence of height correlated with the proportions of WHG, CHG, EHG, Yamnaya, Anatolian_NE ancestry. Figure S32 from Martiano et al. (2017). These five scatterplots show the correlation between the amount of ancestry a person had from different groups and their height polygenic scores.
