This paper provides an update on general social aspects of migrations from the Ukrainian steppe in the 3rd millennium BCE from archaeology, DNA, and linguistics. It also provides a quantification of the prestige value of some tooth and shell status items in the Czech Corded Ware culture. Furthermore, it raises the issue of currently unconvincing archaeological evidence that wolves/dogs were linked with young male warrior bands in the formation of the Corded Ware culture, as suggested by Anthony (2022) and Kristiansen et al. (2017), showing that dogtooth (and shell) ornaments were in fact overwhelmingly associated with females in the Corded Ware culture. Although the paper does not give an exhaustive overview of all the available data, it attempts to inspire more detailed archaeolinguistic and bioarchaeological studies into human–canid gender and age relationships in early Indo-European societies.
