A proposito di questo titolo

The episode explores the historical and genetic origins of the Indo-European language family, which currently serves billions of people worldwide. It details a significant scientific breakthrough from 2025 that utilizes ancient DNA analysis to resolve a long-standing debate between the Steppe and Anatolian hypotheses. Researchers identified a specific Copper Age population in the Caucasus-Lower Volga region of southern Russia as the primary ancestors of these diverse languages. This group’s migrations explain how different branches, such as Hittite in Turkey and the Yamnaya-derived tongues in Europe and Asia, eventually diverged. By tracking genetic markers and archaeological evidence, the source illustrates how a small, mixed population’s movements reshaped the linguistic landscape of the entire globe. This modern evidence clarifies that the spread of these languages resulted from massive human migrations rather than simple cultural exchange.
