Do all Europeans have Yamnaya DNA?

The same study estimated a (38.8–50.4 \%) ancestral contribution of the Yamnaya in the DNA of modern Central, and Northern Europeans, and an 18.5–32.6 \% contribution in modern Southern Europeans; this contribution is found to a lesser extent in Sardinians (2.4–7.1 \%) and Sicilians (5.9–11.6 \%).
