Ancient North Eurasian (ANE) admixture in modern day populations. The ANE were a deeply divergent lineage from Siberia that gave ancestry to all modern Europeans & South-Central Asians. The Yamnaya (Proto Indo Europeans) might have had upto 50% ANE ancestry.
Facial reconstruction of Ancient North Eurasians and genetic distances from them of modern populations. Many Indian groups have upto 30% ANE ancestry and are some of the closest related modern populations to the ANE.
ANE admixture in the Indian subcontinent.
ANE admixture in Europe.
ANE are likely the ultimate paternal ancestors of the Proto Indo Europeans. Basal Y-DNA R was found in the MA-1 "Mal'ta Boy" sample dated to 22,500 BCE.
Basal Y-DNA R is ultimately the father lineage of both R1a and R1b.
Basal Y-DNA R is ultimately the father lineage of both R1a and R1b.
ANE are also the ancestors of the ANA ("Ancestral Native Americans") and even contribute some DNA to the Iranian Neolithic Farmer like populations.
Modern Indians receive ANE ancestry from 2 sources: from their Indus Valley admixture & from their Proto-Indo-European admixture.

Modern Europeans receive their ANE ancestry from one source only, that is their Proto-Indo-European admixture. The ANE were the likely father population of European Eastern Hunter Gatherers.
While the ANE carried the mutation for blonde hair and passed it on to modern Europeans, it wasn't genotypically expressed and their phenotype was brown skin, dark hair and dark eyes.
