Yamnaya: steppe herders who learned to smelt bronze, tame horses, and ride on wheels to the east and west of the steppes where they learned these secrets.

Would you agree these people were the Scythians?

Richard: here’s the AI answer to your question :

Recent genetic studies have concluded that the Scythians formed from European-related groups of the Yamnaya culture and East Asian/Siberian groups during the Bronze Age and early Iron Age. The Scytho-Siberian world quickly came to stretch from the Pannonian Basin in the west to the Altai Mountains in the east.
