Proto-Indo-European Origins | DNA

The origins of modern Europeans are shrouded in mystery and wracked by controversy. Archaeologists and linguists have long debated the origins of the Indo-European language family as well as the origins of civilization and settled life in Europe. Recent discoveries in past years suggest that the origin of European culture, as well as some central Asian cultures, is within an archaeological culture called the Yamnaya.
One major source of contention over the origins of the precursor to modern European cultures is over whether they involved the movement of actual people or merely the exchange of ideas. Before about 9,000 BP Europe was still in the Palaeolithic. It was populated largely by hunter-gatherers, living not very differently from how they had lived when they first arrived in Europe roughly 37,000 years ago.
Beginning around 9,000 BP however, agriculture and village life began to spread across Europe and by 5,000 BP the continent was mostly settled by Neolithic farmers. Around 5,000 BP or 3,000 BC a Bronze Age culture began to spread across Europe, probably from the steppes of Eurasia.
In one view, this change is related to trade networks that existed across Eurasia. People of Europe were in trade contact with the people of the Middle East and the Eurasian steppes and they adopted the technology and lifeways of more technologically advanced outsiders.
The original position of many European archaeologists, however, was that the second instance, at least, represented an invasion. In 3,000 BC, nomadic pastoralists from the steppes of Eurasia replaced and interbred with the Neolithic farmers who had settled Europe about 4,000 years earlier.
More recent views also contend that Neolithic farmers from Anatolia (modern-day Turkey) began to spread across Europe around 7,000 BC without much interbreeding with the native hunter-gatherers. This suggests that both may have been the result of actual migrations of people.
Although there are still many unanswered questions, sequencing of ancient human genomes has revealed that these culture changes in Europe were partially the result of a migration of people.
The earlier migration of farmers from Anatolia is beyond the scope of this article, but recent research suggests that the dawn of Bronze Age Europe was due to the expansion of the Yamnaya culture.

    In respect of the genetic evidence that the Yamnaya/Indo-European migration into Europe included no less than 14 times as many men as women, and the modern population of Europe is majority descended from Yamnaya in the male line and from the earlier Neolithic population in the female line, I suspect that the video is giving us a toned down and nicer version of what really happened. I expect that the nature of the interactions between incoming Yamnaya, and the established New Stone Age farmer and remnant hunter-gatherer populations already in Europe varied from place to place. However, genetic survival has nothing to do with fairness or justice and everything to do with doing whatever ensures that one's own and one's kins genes form as high a proportion of the next generation as possible. Yes, as the video says, the incoming Yamnaya with their horses and chariots and bronze tools, weapons and armour may have seemed wealthier and therefore more desirable husbands to women from the settled Stone Age farmer population, although we do not know how much choice in who they married young women were allowed by their families in those days, before written records. However, as happens, driven by genetic logic, among animals such as gorillas and lions, modern morality aside, the logical thing for the men in an incoming Yamnaya migration, especially if bringing few of their own women with them, would be to use the considerable military advantage that horses, chariots and bronze weapons and armour must have given them over a native population fighting only on foot with only Stone Age weapons, to kill the local men and steal their women by force, including rape. This seems to have been accepted practice in the oldest surviving European literature, composed about half way in time between us and the presumed date of the Yamnaya (and probably Indo-European) migration into Europe, Homer's epic poems the Iliad and Odyssey, which are in an early form of Greek, which is an Indo-European language, about the Trojan War and its aftermath. At one point in the Odyssey, Odysseus, the king of the small island of Ithaca, who is meant to be a hero, recounts briefly and matter of factly, as though it was a normal and acceptable thing to do, that on his way home from conquering Troy, finding himself and his men near the country of a people called the Kikones (or Cicones), who had been allies of the Trojans and were thus his enemies, he immediately fell on their nearest town: 'I laid waste their town and destroyed them [i.e. the men]. And we took their wives [literally, 'bed partners'] and much loot out of the town to share out among ourselves.' This makes his men so happy that they insist on staying to celebrate, drinking wine looted from the town and slaughtering and roasting cattle and sheep they capture from the countryside round about. And it is accepted that the Greek warriors may have sex with the Kikones women they have captured. Thus the Greek men's DNA, mixed with that of both Kikones women and their own Greek women back at home, looks destined to be a high proportion of the next generation in that region, while the Kikones men's will not. Apart from the fact that at that date they would more likely have drunk beer or mead than wine, similar scenes probably took place many times as the Bronze Age Yamnaya invaders swept through the settlements of the previous Stone Age inhabitants of Europe. Indeed, this may be what the mostly male Yamnaya invaders mainly came for.

    There weren’t any Greeks then. Greek is the name for the people of modern day Greece. The Trojan War was a war between Illyrians-Pelasgians. Dardanians and Achaeans. Homer mentions the Pelasgians all over Greece and that Achilles prays to the oracle of Dodona the seat of the Pelasgians. The war was fought between tribes that were once friends and allys. The descendants of Illyrians today are the Albanians.

    The practically all men thing made me think of New France in Canada where it was pretty much all men fur traders, looking for pelts to sell back home. The same would apply to Russian mostly all-male fur-traders venturing into Siberia around the same time. But yeah, also reminiscent of Vikings. Young men looking for land, due to lack of it back home beyond the oldest son to inherit. Thinking to the Yamnaya homeland being in the Steppe, fur would be very valuable. Cold winters, and even cold nights during summer. For the Yamnaya venturing into the forests of Europe to find good quality pelts might have been very lucrative even back then. Raiding any villages on the way an added plus. Setting up posts that eventually turn into cities, and having the wealth to attract local women. In that case similar to how Viking set up Dublin, Cork, etc, in Ireland. Of course once the land is also noted as farm worthy. That would be like a YAMNAYA GOLD RUSH. ALL MEN LOOKING FOR GOOD LAND!!.

You domesticate a species, not an individual animal. Willful ignorance? I suppose so. I can hardly imagine someone writing a possibly break-through paper on early domestication, yet he does not understand the difference between domestication and taming. Most probably an intentionally misleading statement, aimed at sensation seeking journalists, or thereabouts.

    @@vortex_1336 There's another problem with this work, which I became aware on some lecture by one of the authors. He stated, that Botai people likely got the horse already domesticated from elsewhere. My guess is, that somebody started wondering, how come hunter gatherers with no experience with herding and such, managed to domesticate the horse before dedicated pastoralists did that. So the answer would be, that they traded or stolen the horses already domesticated, which happened in Americas. The problem? The genetic studies show that those horses do not belong to the same lineage as our domestic horse. So, that seems rather unlikely... The only result that still supports the original thesis, is the supposed long term reliance on milk. I remain skeptical, until someone else repeats the measurements, or some genetic studies confirm, that Botai people had lactase persistance gene. Otherwise it looks like they were a hunter-gatherer group specialized on hunting horses. It does not exclude the possibility of taming some of the animals, just like Zebras can be tamed,. Zebras are *wild horses* , though.

Did they remove violent and hostile to humans genes from the gene pool they controlled, over many generations? I doubt exactly that. "the theory is that they actually invented chariots before saddles and horse riding." Chariots? Definitely not, because chariots are a specialized war equipment. Saddles aren't necessary for horseback riding. Regarding ponies, I actually have some experience with horses that size. I was considered to be too big to ride them, but that's because I'm a modern, full sized man of 82kg (at the time). Still, the horses would carry me. It just made little sense to put a heavy man on a small horse, if bigger horses were available. In other words, I suspect they have ridden a horse before they invented the wheel, though obviously I am not sure of it. It just makes sense to me. Building a cart is a complex process when compared to simply trying to mount a tame animal. (The ponies I speak of live in the wild and in stables. The are a primitive breed. Very similar to wild horses.)

    The Yamnaya were known for heir large herds of horses, as well as their wagons. We know the Yamnaya that migrated into Europe, covered wagons, and horse herds, (they were horse breeders). The women and children rode in the wagons, while the men, and boys rode the horses. They carried the farm hen, and plant seeds, for later cultivation. Later in European history, we witness Germanic tribes migrating the same way: Covered wagons, oxen, and horses. These migrants from Central Europe, brought with them their ox-driven heavy plow, and Three-Field-Crop-Rotation methods, (something even the Romans were ignorant of).

    To demonstrate the PIE speakers were farmers, and not just herders, he says PIE had a native word for wheat. Hmmm... What would that be? It's not *ĝr̥H₂-no-, "grain" (too broad). It's not *pewh₂- "mow, harvest", possibly borrowed from Semitic "wheat". *h2ed- came to mean too many things to be pinned down, though in some languages it's "emmer wheat". Hittite šeppit is borrowed for sure. In other words, the data seem to show the opposite of his conclusion on farming: they knew (and perhaps harvested) barley, but their farming words were unstable, unlike their herding terminology. Some of these farming words were borrowed (with the novel practice), but in any case they often referred to different crops in the daughter languages. So perhaps, as others posit, they were herders only, albeit gathering and occasionally tilling specific crops (like barley, but likely NOT wheat).

When you dig into both the Irish and the Hindi traditions you find that the stories differ but the elements within the stories obviously came from a shared origin, sort of like a game of gossip going off in two directions, after a few thousand repetitions and interpretations you wind up with two very different tales, both cultures placed a high value on oral history and ensured that it was memorised, both cultures had a strictly defined social system, believed in reincarnation, had both a religious aristocracy and a warrior caste, each member of the society had their rights and duties, even down to what they could wear or own. The Irish Druids even had it worked out to exactly the worth of an individuals life if you either accidently or deliberately killed him. I guess we can blame the Indo Aryans for the invention of lawyers. It would be really interesting to see a comparison of DNA from both ends of the diaspora and get an ideal of how much was physical migration and how much was cultural spread.

This can mean that either the conquered males were wiped out, enslaved (thus having little to non descendants) or/and that Yamnaya male took many captive wifes. Female dna of the Yamnaya has also been found. We have to bear that in mind too.

    Proto-Uralic did not exist, and nor did indo-european (in the way linguists try to prove but always fail). These linguistic-based hypotheses were created in the 18.-19. century, before archeology spread. Since then, it became treated like an axiom, despite there is still not any linguistic proof found for any of these hypothetical proto-languages in the numerous excavations of the last 150 years. These linguistic theories only consider splitting and loaning, but lack mixing by conquer or pacifically, and its obvious circumstances: language mixing, language change, pidginization, as if the split population groups would have occupy an uninhabited territory, or eradicated the previous inhabitants. But instead of corrigating the mistakes, the linguists still try to prove these false theories to justify their previous statements and save their authority. Now they try to link their imaginary proto-indoeuropean language to the yamnaya and corded ware populations, as the possible anchestor. But some of the "indo-european" people did not have yamnaya mixture, or only very few (mostly in South and West-Europe), while other "non-europeans" had many (mostly in Eastern and Central-Europe). I will point out just three examples that have different origin within IE language family: 1. "víz" (hungarian), "Wasser" (german), "water" (english), "voda" (slavic) vs. "aqua" (latin), "apa" (romanian). Hungarian is not consided IE, it is categorized finno-ugric from political reasons by only a few words which are common with finnic people. "Víz" is one of them, but it's also common with the North-European languages. 2. An other is "ház". It can also be found in IE, but also only in the North: "Haus" (german), house (english) vs. domus (latin), domý (slav). You can see that the slavs took this word from the south-european vocabulary, despite being surrounded mostly by germanic, finnic and hungarian speakers, and taking "voda" from north-european. That's because there have been large intermixing throughout the neolithic age with the neighbouring populations. 3. "Are" (english) as a verb was not used in old english. It came from french with the normans. So it's basically a southern word with latin roots. But it can be found in georgian, which is a kartvelian language, so totally an isolate in the territory of Georgia (and a bit of Turkey): "xar" [khar] (singular you are), "arian" (plural you are). The germanic word is "is" and "ist", which is identical with the hungarian referring pronoun "az", "azt" (accusative). The historic reasons: the last time before yamnaya conquer Europe was overpopulated by neolithic farmers, who gave the majority in Hungary after yamnaya income too. The yamnaya culture had these farmer anchestors only in a very small ratio, they derive around half from caucasian hunter-gatherers and half from the north-eurasian hunter-gatherers, whose descendants speak the uralic languages. The finns are the mixture of two populations: these uralic ancient north-eurasians and the ancient european hunter-gatherers. If we accept the presumed yamnaya language is PIE, than greeks, latins, albanians and vlachs are not indoeuropean, while celts and hungarians are partially or debated. Hungarian can be considered indoeuropean (satem) language by its connections with old norse just as much or even more, than it is considered uralic. But it depends on the definition: if we define indo-europanity by the root word for house, slavic languages wouldnt be a part of the group, despite they have much common substrats with indians. So it would be better to define by common root word percentage (that's where southern language groups fail), but we see the centum-satem differentiation is made by only one word (for the number 100). I think it would be a long time for the linguists to change these outdated theories, and a bit longer for the public, most of whom are too lazy to think, and unable to understand complex things.

    First of all, I'm not sure there was a PIE word for "sail"; the English word "sail" is of unknown origin. Secondly, I'm not sure how any of this says anything more than that PIEans had access to agriculture ─ something which we already know. Words related to seafaring ─ even though I'm not sure specifically which ones you are referring to ─ may just mean the PIEans were aware of sea trade, but this is also consistent with the Yamnaya culture.

    Most interesting and well presented. Given what we know it might be reasonable to presume the Yamnaya culture was strongly patriarchal and inheritance only passed to the eldest son. Younger sons would be forced to form war bands to carve out their own homes in new territories - with the aid of the horse, the wheel, lactose tolerance, and bronze, such a culture could spread very far very rapidly in an otherwise Neolithic world of less well nourished farmers. Genetics: It's interesting to note that the remaining European hunter-gatherers seemingly marginalised by the greater numbers of farmers who migrated in to Europe from Anatolia may have been at a relative advantage compared to those farmers when the Yamnaya turned up as a result of their lifestyle - while male farmer genetic lineages were largely replaced by Yamnaya ones male hunter-gatherer lineages seem to have had something of a resurgence. It seems at the time to be female regardless of background was 'valuable' given female Yamnaya lineages are scarce in Western Europe and the relative abundances of female farmer and hunter-gather lineages did not change a great deal. Again consistent with male war bands spreading out form an original homeland in the East. Much the same picture, if muddied by later migrations, can be seen East of the caucuses where Indo-European spread as far as India.

    Yes! The reason why I found this channel was a coronatimes rekindling of a past passions of mine: comparative linguistics and paleogenetics, particularly those of Eurasia. So naturally I got this channel recommended after searching videos about the PIE. I love how this video represents the very recent contemporary view that the PIE were not simply invading savages as everything about them was far more complex as the galloped around entire continents for millennia at record speed. Despite that acknowledgment, I’m disappointed in this video’s emphasis on the consensus yet antiquated Steppe hypothesis and mention of it’s also admittedly antiquated rival theory by Colin Renfew in the Anatolian one. I would have enjoyed hearing at least a mention of the recently removed from the fringe Armenian hypothesis, something of a synergy of the two that places the PIE homeland directly intermediary to the other locations. IMO and educated guesswork, I believe the Armenian hypothesis best solves the questions of how PIE culture used words for metallurgy, horseback, and agriculture and was so hybridized. It would fit well with your analysis here. Plus, it’s simply fascinating to see the revolutions of the Bronze Age all the way through the Epipaleolithic all point to the back and forth interplay of cultures in and around Asia Minor.

    The factor that isn't being considered properly is that the populations were very different. For example the hunter gatherer lifestyle could not support a large population, whereas Neolithic farming could support far more. The same would be true of bronze age farmers. The male biased Yamnaya immigrant DNA record would suggest not conquest, but trade - particularly in tin and copper, which were rare, and absolutely necessary raw materials for the bronze age culture in the southern civilisations.

    @@countbooga6997 If the yamna conquered and wiped out or displaced the local population, then Yamna mitocondrial DNA would also dominate because they would bring their wives and relatives with them. It is very unusual for an entire tribe to dump all their womenfolk and travel thousands of miles to exterminate all the males there and marry all their women there. If they were roaming males who moved there to trade in copper and tin, then they would have married local wives to gain mastery of the local language and culture. This is what seems to have happened with the Stonehenge archer. What most non-geneticist historians fail to understand is that the Y haplogroup and the Mitocondrial DNA is inherited exclusively through the paternal and maternal lines exclusively. Therefore given time based on the laws of probability, one will randomly tend to dominate and replace all the others. If there are marriage customs like property or status being inherited along the partiarchical line, then this encourages that Y haplogroup to ensure they have at least some sons, whereas for those who do not have that haplogroup daughters are fine, because they do not inherit anything to pass on anyway. You see the same sort of thing in North and South America. In North America, people came to settle, and they drove out and decimated Native Americans, and brought wives and brides and so Y haplogroups and Mitocondrial DNA of European immigrants both predominate. In Mexico, and South America, Spanish immigrants came over to make a quick buck, so they were mostly men, who ended up staying and marrying local Native Americal women. In south America, European Y chromosomes predominate while there is a lot of Native Amercian mitocondrial DNA. In both North and South America disease and genocide did take place in boyh places, and of course the native population was small compared to the immigrant population, but the distribution of Y haplogroup and mitocondrial DNA is quite different. If the DNA from the Stonehenge burials are anything to go by, the bronze age immigrants were very high status but small in number, and co-existed peacefully and intermarried with the locals. They were able to take over the leadership of the neolithic farmers who built Stonehenge, but respected their customs, and added their own cultural input. A similar sort of thing happened with the Celts at the start of the iron age, and the Anglo-Saxons.

    @@maxkho00 The Y chromosome is one of 23 human chromosomes. The X chromosome is is its female counterpart (allosomes). The other 22 (autosomes) and the X crromosome in females is paired with its counterpart inherited from the womans father, but in men there is one X chromosome from the mother and the Y chrosome from the father. The Y chromosome is very short and does not carry any functional genes that code for making proteins, and seems to carry only one gene that is important for sperm production, and the rest seem to be switches that turn on and off other genes. It changes very fast, but its effects do not seem to cause anything very critical. The Y chromosome is only inherited through your paternal line, therefore if you go back 10 generations, you will have 1024 ancestors (assuming there is no inbreeding), but you inherited your Y chromosome from only one of those ancestors. Therefore you may be 1023/1024 (99.9%) Neolithic and 1/1024 (0.1%) Yamna, but if you look at only ay the Y chromosome, you think you are 100% Yamna. Because the Y chromosome chain is completely broken if any male does not have sons as any time in the chain of ancestry, There is a statistical tendency for different Y haplogroups to randomly drop out of the gene poll for this reason, Similarly, there is a tendency for marriage practices like patriarchical inheritance or marrying wives from outside groups to concentrate the Y haplogroup and its female counterpart mitocondrial DNA, and cause others to drop out. If you want to look at ancestry, looking at the Y haplogroup or mitocondrial DNA is extremely misleading. This are only useful to trace recent population migrations by tracking movement of individuals. An interesting fact is that Neanderthal DNA analysis showed that the DNA of modern Humans and Neanderthals diverged about 750,000 to 500,000 years ago, but the Neanderthal Y chromosome was completely replaced by modern human Y chromosome about 100,000 years ago, although Neanderthals remained Neanderthal in features and genetics with regard to their genes in general. This may be due to the species barrier eg. male human/female neanderthal hybrids may have been fertile while male neanderthal/human hybrids were not, or it may be because humans being nomadic with human males travelling long distances to trade, look for flints etc. came in contact with neanderthals, while human females who were engaged in child rearing and gathering, stayed within the human tribe and did not.

    On Sunday, November 6, 2005, an article was published in the newspaper "Apogevmatini tis Kyriakis" entitled "The DNA of the Greeks is clean" and with the subtitle "Research of Stanford Universities in the USA and Pavia in Italy" answers directly to Falmerager. The newspaper writes: "Impressive! The DNA of the Greeks (genetic composition) of the Greeks shows that 99.5% of them are pure Caucasians! (white race) Which means that the contribution to the genetic composition of Greeks, other population groups than white, is a minimum percentage, less than 0.5%! The DNA of the Greeks, as shown by a recent international scientific research, has not been influenced by Slavs, -as some claim- even by the Turks, despite 400 years of slavery! The date of spread of the genetic group J12a1h-M319 in Crete , occurred around 3100 BC. and this date is extremely important. Because it marks the border in the Neolithic Age and the Bronze Age in Crete. A period during which we have great socio-political changes from which the Minoan civilization sprang. It shows that the Cretans are descended directly from their ancestors of the Minoan civilization. In fact, we present to you a research of the University of Crete in 2012 for the Sfakion Bath which based on findings has human and -therefore based on genetic code very Greek- FINDINGS 120,000 years old! The allegations that Crete was colonized by Egypt and Libya were completely refuted because the mononucleotide polymorphism (index V13), which is typical in Crete and Mainland Greece, was not found in the slightest. That is, the results showed that there has been no genetic contact between Africa and Crete and mainland Greece for the last 5,000 years. Research has shown that modern Greeks are descended from the Greeks of the Neolithic era and the oldest Neolithic settlements have been found in Greece. It also appeared that the DNA of the Greeks is very characteristic and is the oldest in Europe. Scientists pay special attention to the fact that after a long series of research no Mongolian origin was discovered in the DNA of the Greeks, because the Turks occupied Greece for 400 years and everyone expected that there would be some connection in the DNA of the two peoples. And yet the Greek DNA has not been affected in the slightest. On the contrary, the Arabs, who had occupied Spain, put their signature on the Spanish DNA and this can be seen from the research. All the research that was done from Macedonia to Crete fully documents the genetic continuity and cohesion of the Greek population from antiquity (and from the Neolithic era) until today. Research in Europe has shown something particularly important that not only were the Greeks not genetically influenced by other peoples but instead transmitted their DNA to the rest of Europe. Essentially this is the modern scientific answer to Falmerager's theories. Another theory that claimed that the ancient Greeks were black… Well, they were never black! There are many who supported and wrote about "Black Athena" (about the Goddess Athena) and many other theories without any scientific basis. All these… anti-Greek - one might say - positions were demolished , not only by one research, but by seven different major scientific researches, of European and American researchers. Konstantinos Triantaphyllides, Professor of Genetics, Development and Molecular Biology at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (Aristotle University of Thessaloniki), and his research team participate in international research networks whose ultimate goal is to trace the biological history of European populations. This research, which concerns the genetic composition of Greeks - and other peoples - was coordinated by Stanford University in the USA, Mr. Triantaphyllides' research team and the University of Pavia in Italy. Another 5 research laboratories from different countries (from Baghdad to Moscow) also participated. The results of this research were published in the American journal "Human Genetics". We present to you the study of the Universities of Pavia and Stanford which was published as such in the World Scientific Community: Stanford University of USA-Pavia university of Italy research of greek DNA. Research Sumary: 1) The DNA of the Greeks is 99.5% WHITE. The research concluded that at a rate of over 99.5, the Greek DNA from the modern samples is the same as the DNA of the inhabitants of the areas based on the oldest samples taken from the same areas. 2) Contrary to the beliefs of many in Turkey and some Slavic nations of the former Yugoslavia, Greek DNA has not been affected, nor altered, by the mixture of Slavic or Turkish DNA, even if the Ottomans ruled much of Greece. for 400 years. 3) From a strong sample of 925 modern Greek DNA, only 0.4% showed non-white DNA. 4) To a large extent, the Greeks of ancient times "transferred" their DNA to other parts of Europe through their conquests. The study showed that, today, Greek DNA is more similar to: a) Italian DNA, b) French DNA, c) Spanish DNA, d) Turkish DNA. 5) In continuation of the above, The DNA of the Italians in modern southern Italy is the closest match to the DNA of their Greek neighbors. 6) Not only is the Greek genetic heritage clearly traceable today, but it is traceable not only among the Greeks, but also to all their neighboring populations of partial Greek origin, with clear genetic similarities. Based on samples from all over Europe that were accurately dated, the following Genetic Material Antiquity Map was created:  The research goes even further: Analysis of mitochondrial DNA found that test specimens were divided into 21 groups (haplotypes) and evaluated separately for each time period, in the Middle East and Europe. Based on mathematical calculations, it is estimated that the DNA of Greek origin is as follows: 8% in recent years (about 3,000 years from today), 20% in the Neolithic period (9,000 to 3000), 44% in the last Upper Paleolithic period (14500-9000), 14.5% on average above Paleolithic era (26,000 to 14,500 years) and 11% in the early Upper Paleolithic era (45,500 -26,000). According to the above, we have very clear examples of the existence of civilized life in Greece even 50,000 years ago! And the research concludes as follows: "Greek DNA has not changed in the last 3,000 years. "Greeks are Greeks themselves according to the modern science of genetics." A photo a thousand words: Follow pronews.gr on Instagram to "see" the real world! We will go one step further and ask ourselves: But why no one refers to the -unknown to the general public- Greek populations outside Greece, such as the Greeks of Italy, the pobladores Griegos of Spain, the Hamedians of Syria, the Roman orthodox Lebanese, Pashtuns and Kalas in Asia, Araucanians in Chile, Ainu in Japan and others, who proudly assert their Greek origin? Why was no one assimilated to them? How can they be sure where they come from?

    Domestication of the horse would lead the group to dominate long-distance trading and would enable much larger military forces that could campaign over longer distances. An army that can carry supplies in a baggage train can be much larger than one that can't. So the rapid establishment of a continent-spanning trade network followed by a series of one-sided conflicts that tend to accompany such endeavors could explain the spread of PIE quite well. The bulk of this would have to have happened in a short period before the settled groups had time to acquire and learn how to use horses, with later empires and kingdoms mopping up all but one remaining culture over the next few millennia. In a climate with harsh winters like in Europe, a people displaced by war can face almost complete extermination, as was the fate of many Native American peoples. This would explain the strong genetic dominance of the latecomers.

    I think in recent years it was settled with genetic studies using Yamnaya skeletons. They also discovered the existence of plague in some of the skeletal remains that were buried in goups. So the new theory involves the Yamnaya being one of the first to be hit by this plague. Gaining immunity before anyone else. And then either advancing into areas depopulated by the plague. Or being the ones carrying the plague with them where they went, reducing native populations. (If I had to guess, I'd guess a Zootonic disease from horses😅) The Indo-european language has words for wheel, chariot, bronze, etc. If they had words for such things, then they probably had those things. Making them more militarily advanced than most. Sort of like what happened in the new world. A handful of conquistadors conquering large empires using military advantages and diseases that are minor for themselves, but devastating to the enemy. Perhaps they were like like horsemen of the apocalypse. Guys with horses bring pestilence, war, etc. The 4 horsemen are based on an older part in Zachariah which has 4 Chariots with horses colored the same (instead of horsemen)🤔. Also bringing pestilence, war, famine, etc

    @@topg2820 My impression is this. In the ancient past, the region we now call the Middle East was once dotted with several different languages. It just so happens that those living in Anatolia specifically are the ones to first adopt agriculture. These people developed new tools and cultural practices around this new lifestyle and as such added new words to their language. As we all know, they eventually spread these new innovations far and wide from their homeland likely in several distinct waves. And, as the hunter-gatherers they encountered adopted these new tools and techniques, they borrowed the words for them into their languages and that's how the Indo-European language family formed. Again, there was likely at least two waves from Anatolia; first with the initial spread of stone age agriculture, and secondly with advent of metallurgy. Otherwise known as The Secondary Products Revolution.

According to the above, we have very clear examples of the existence of civilized life in Greece even 50,000 years ago!

    Since the “onslaught” on the farmers seems to have occurred rather rapidly, it is fair to say that the nomads had some kind of a population explosion. It is hard to think that strictly pastoral culture can achieve that, although allegedly drinking horse milk has advantages than cow milk and keeping horses in winter is easier than cows, because of their grazing habits. Having a word for barley does not however mean it was necessarily cultivated. It could have been traded. There must and I assume there are other indicators related to verbs rather than nouns that reveal their knowledge of agriculture. Diseases and immunity may also have been a major factor. The predominance of nomadic male genes and the farmer female genes may indicate both violence against male populations of the farmers or higher social status of the nomadic males in a mixed population. But why on earth would the female peasant mother not teach her children her own mother tongue instead of the foreign lingo of the foreign male??? Sometimes I am inclined to believe that there might be something hidden in the language itself, perhaps indo-european is easier to acquire, more streamlined than the ancients ones. Languages do de-evolve and generally become simpler. In India they seem to have subdued an old culture, superimposed their gods and mythologies on the conquered peoples but probably much later, as they had somewhere along the way acquired or themselves independently created a script. However Mitani and the Hitites did not manage to transform the languages of their conquered subjects nor influence their pantheons or myths significantly, probably because of their association with centuries old and much more developed literary traditions (Semitic and Sumerian) that have till now influenced most of the western indo-europeans. Nevertheless it remains still an unsolved mystery why my mother tongue and the one I am scribbling here in or the one that is spoken in the place I live in (Germany) are all indo-european. An amazing feat and a still to a great extent a puzzle.

    Its more like the Great Migration Period, we know from dating that the Earth went through some sort of cataclysm around this period, The Epic Of Gilgamesh, what probably happened is either they migrated when the event was taking place or after it. They simply bounced back from a cooling event more quickly, they replaced the Anatolian farmers in Britain by 93% of the population and the only place we see have seen that happen is the Americas when Europeans arrived from disease, we know from graves that the Yamnaya had a form of the plague that was a flu on the Steppe at this time, they also had mastered metallurgy with high status individuals being buried with copper maces, they also master riding the horse. It seems R1b was the first wave of Yamnaya into Europe with the second wave, which is R1a, dominating the Steppe now along with Eastern and Northern Europeans.

    I have of course some thoughts of my own, that may contribute to solving at least some aspects of the puzzle. I am writing it down here, because I hope to motivate some more research in this area. The Indo-Europeans had some kind of rigid marital regulation mechanisms and perhaps for some reason a disparity in the the ratio of males to females. Since it apparently was in some unknown way a highly stratified society, they must have had also some kind of regulations to avoid incest. This perhaps strict exogamic culture or the lack of sufficient females may have lead to raids for females along with cattle. The latter seems to be a wide-spread trait amongst the pastoralists through out the world. A prime example are the Masai and the Herders of the Asian grasslands. The rape of the Sabine women may be a reminder of the ancient tradition. In India for some reason they seem to have avoided intermarriage with the subjects and given up the habit of female abduction or decimation of the male population, whatever the case might have been elsewhere. That may perhaps be the reason for the most complex system of marriage of the upper classes in India. It is mind-boggling, the rituals and the astrology. Latest research seems to reveal that it was basically a complex methodology to avoid incest and yet at the same time avoid any “contamination” of the races or classes. This may partly clarify the DNA evidences but still does not say anything about the spread of the languages. One has therefore to assume patrilocality for that. The females were “imported” so to say within an existing local culture. In my opinion it could not have been matrilocal. But that is just a speculation on my part, which however I think would be worth investigating.

In Mesoamerica, the spaniards came in relatively small numbers and all male. In the colonies, spanish, nahuatl and the indigenous language were all spoken but due to the political and religious language being spanish over the span of a few hundred years it was mainly spanish being spoken by the mestizo population in the colonial centers.

Kill or enslave all the men and install yourself as the new boss of the village, the women can either choose to be one of your concubines or go without a man, with all that entails economically - it's not very nice, but I'm not sure I'd call it rape. "Desirable" doesn't necessarily mean physically attractive, it means you have more to gain from a relationship with him than from a relationship with a man of lesser socio-economic status, or no relationship at all. Women trading sexual access for status and stuff, and alpha males monopolizing status and stuff so they can trade them for sex, have been a part of human society for at least a million years.

So u r in a situation where all the males in a community are murdered and women are war time possession s of some war heroes. Why is it hard to accept that in this kind of situations mass raping is viable? Moreover, your answer tries to give off of the idea that conquered women had the liberty to make a choice. Sorry, but in extremely patriarchal societies even thinking of such options seems ridiculous where the status of women is just to fulfill men's desire and produce offspring. And indo-europeans were notorious for being patriarchal. In contrast the culture they conquered practiced certain degrees of matriarchy( Harappans. Sumerians.minoans.etruscans.elamites.vinca.) There seems to be obsolete practice in different circles to present Disney version of Cinderella strory even though the reality is far from what they want people to believe.

    On Sunday, November 6, 2005, an article was published in the newspaper "Apogevmatini tis Kyriakis" entitled "The DNA of the Greeks is clean" and with the subtitle "Research of Stanford Universities in the USA and Pavia in Italy" answers directly to Falmerager. The newspaper writes: "Impressive! The DNA of the Greeks (genetic composition) of the Greeks shows that 99.5% of them are pure Caucasians! (white race) Which means that the contribution to the genetic composition of Greeks, other population groups than white, is a minimum percentage, less than 0.5%! The DNA of the Greeks, as shown by a recent international scientific research, has not been influenced by Slavs, -as some claim- even by the Turks, despite 400 years of slavery! The date of spread of the genetic group J12a1h-M319 in Crete , occurred around 3100 BC. and this date is extremely important. Because it marks the border in the Neolithic Age and the Bronze Age in Crete. A period during which we have great socio-political changes from which the Minoan civilization sprang. It shows that the Cretans are descended directly from their ancestors of the Minoan civilization. In fact, we present to you a research of the University of Crete in 2012 for the Sfakion Bath which based on findings has human and -therefore based on genetic code very Greek- FINDINGS 120,000 years old! The allegations that Crete was colonized by Egypt and Libya were completely refuted because the mononucleotide polymorphism (index V13), which is typical in Crete and Mainland Greece, was not found in the slightest. That is, the results showed that there has been no genetic contact between Africa and Crete and mainland Greece for the last 5,000 years. Research has shown that modern Greeks are descended from the Greeks of the Neolithic era and the oldest Neolithic settlements have been found in Greece. It also appeared that the DNA of the Greeks is very characteristic and is the oldest in Europe. Scientists pay special attention to the fact that after a long series of research no Mongolian origin was discovered in the DNA of the Greeks, because the Turks occupied Greece for 400 years and everyone expected that there would be some connection in the DNA of the two peoples. And yet the Greek DNA has not been affected in the slightest. On the contrary, the Arabs, who had occupied Spain, put their signature on the Spanish DNA and this can be seen from the research. All the research that was done from Macedonia to Crete fully documents the genetic continuity and cohesion of the Greek population from antiquity (and from the Neolithic era) until today. Research in Europe has shown something particularly important that not only were the Greeks not genetically influenced by other peoples but instead transmitted their DNA to the rest of Europe. Essentially this is the modern scientific answer to Falmerager's theories. Another theory that claimed that the ancient Greeks were black… Well, they were never black! There are many who supported and wrote about "Black Athena" (about the Goddess Athena) and many other theories without any scientific basis. All these… anti-Greek - one might say - positions were demolished , not only by one research, but by seven different major scientific researches, of European and American researchers. Konstantinos Triantaphyllides, Professor of Genetics, Development and Molecular Biology at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (Aristotle University of Thessaloniki), and his research team participate in international research networks whose ultimate goal is to trace the biological history of European populations. This research, which concerns the genetic composition of Greeks - and other peoples - was coordinated by Stanford University in the USA, Mr. Triantaphyllides' research team and the University of Pavia in Italy. Another 5 research laboratories from different countries (from Baghdad to Moscow) also participated. The results of this research were published in the American journal "Human Genetics". We present to you the study of the Universities of Pavia and Stanford which was published as such in the World Scientific Community: Stanford University of USA-Pavia university of Italy research of greek DNA. Research Sumary: 1) The DNA of the Greeks is 99.5% WHITE. The research concluded that at a rate of over 99.5, the Greek DNA from the modern samples is the same as the DNA of the inhabitants of the areas based on the oldest samples taken from the same areas. 2) Contrary to the beliefs of many in Turkey and some Slavic nations of the former Yugoslavia, Greek DNA has not been affected, nor altered, by the mixture of Slavic or Turkish DNA, even if the Ottomans ruled much of Greece. for 400 years. 3) From a strong sample of 925 modern Greek DNA, only 0.4% showed non-white DNA. 4) To a large extent, the Greeks of ancient times "transferred" their DNA to other parts of Europe through their conquests. The study showed that, today, Greek DNA is more similar to: a) Italian DNA, b) French DNA, c) Spanish DNA, d) Turkish DNA. 5) In continuation of the above, The DNA of the Italians in modern southern Italy is the closest match to the DNA of their Greek neighbors. 6) Not only is the Greek genetic heritage clearly traceable today, but it is traceable not only among the Greeks, but also to all their neighboring populations of partial Greek origin, with clear genetic similarities. Based on samples from all over Europe that were accurately dated, the following Genetic Material Antiquity Map was created:  The research goes even further: Analysis of mitochondrial DNA found that test specimens were divided into 21 groups (haplotypes) and evaluated separately for each time period, in the Middle East and Europe.

    It does not, as that is a different subject. The Italic and Celtic language groups are both branches of the larger Indo-European language family. This video is about the origins of Indo-European and its early spread into Europe. Its subsequent break up once in Europe into branches like Celtic, Italic, Germanic, Albanian, Greek and possibly other extinct branches like Thracian, and then the further division and sub-division of some of those branches into e.g. Germanic into German, Dutch, English, Frisian, the Scandinavian languages and the extinct East Germanic branch that included Gothic, came later, outside the scope of this particular video. (The Italic group included various related languages in Italy in very ancient times such as Oscan and Latin, but with the spread of the Roman Empire all of them died out except Latin, a late and colloquial form of which gave rise to French, Spanish, Italian etc.) Incidentally, I have no reason to doubt scholars who believe there are sufficient fundamental similarities between the Celtic and Italic languages that for a period in prehistory Italo-Celtic was one branch of Indo-European but then split. However, the similarities are so distant and weak now that I can confirm from personal experience that having been good at Latin at school is absolutely useless for understanding road signs and such like in Welsh.

The culture diffusionists, and their ideological allies were in the ascendant for a long while; and, when forced to admit migration as an explanation, were desperate to make it partial, limited, and as non-violent as possible. This slant is still very strong in Britain, as any view of popular British documentaries on the formation of England will show. If diffusion alone cannot be supported by the evidence, then peaceful exchange and a temporary elite dominance will be the second line of defense. J.P. Mallory's "In Search of the Indo Europeans" seems to have stood the test of time, and genetic archeology, much better that Renfrew's work.

    A typical example of the mixing of Yamnaya males with females from the Anatolian farming tribes is the Mycenaean Greeks. Genetic studies clearly show this. But Greek mythology and tradition confirms this with the infamous descents of the early Greek tribes, such as the Ionians, the Achaeans, the Aeolians and the Dorians.

    Even Herodotus mentions Ionians mixed with Carians of Anatolia.
