The first author of the study, Paul Heggarty, observed that "recent ancient DNA data suggest that the Anatolian branch of Indo-European did not emerge from the Steppe, but from further south, in or near the northern arc of the Fertile Crescent – as the earliest source of the Indo-European family. Our language family tree topology, and our lineage split dates, point to other early branches ...
Jul 27, 2023 · Indo-European estimated to be around 8100 years old ... "Ancient DNA and language phylogenetics thus combine to suggest that the resolution to the 200-year-old Indo-European enigma lies in a ...
Jul 27, 2023 · The common ancestor of Indo-European languages, which are now spoken by close to half the world’s population, was spoken in the eastern Mediterranean around 8000 years ago, according to an ...

Aug 25, 2022 · In 2015, a study by Reich and colleagues showed that Europeans share a strong ancestral link to the Yamnaya, a people who migrated out of the Ukrainian or Russian steppes some 5,000 years ago, right about when Indo-European languages are thought to have begun their journey across Eurasia. This finding strongly suggested that the expansion of these steppe pastoralist went hand in hand with the ...
Mar 3, 2015 · The genetic and linguistic data support the idea that Indo-European entered Europe via the steppes around 4,500 years ago, but "it's still not clear to me where the oldest branches" of the ...

Aug 25, 2022 · A new study of ancient DNA from 727 individuals who lived in the regions cradling the southern half of the Black Sea, and extending into the Levant and western Iran, narrows the hunt for the origins of Indo-European languages—spoken today as a first language by almost half the world’s population. The research also documents genetic homogenization and stability among the population of ...
