Genetics located the possible birthplace of Indo -European languages

Russian And Jamnakansa, who arrived from Ukraine’s senses, revolutionized the European culture and gene pool five thousand years ago. 80 % of today’s European genes come from Jamno.

Jamnat also brought with them Indo -European languages ​​that speak half the world.

Researchers at the ancient DNA say they are now locating the Jamno’s initial home and perhaps the cradle of the Indo-European language family.

Linguisters In the 19th century, the classic Greece and Latin had similarities not only with Sanskrit, not only with each other but also in South Asia.

Indo-European languages ​​are spoken, for example, in Europe, Central Asia, India and Iran. The Finnish language is not part of Indo -European languages.

For a long time, the prevailing theory was that the language spread from the area of ​​present Turkish from the early Aatolia farmers in different directions, while agriculture began to spread 9,000 years ago.

However, in 2015, an ancient DNA study revealed how the genes of Jamno spread like a flood wave in areas that became an Indo-European language area.

“The collection of Jamno is like a marker whose spreading can be combined with the spread of Indo -European language,” says the Harvard University Geneticist who has now led the study David Reich In Nature magazine.

However, the idea of ​​the crucial role of the Jamni stumbled into the Anatolian branch of the language family. It included, among other things, a language spoken in Anatolia in the thousandth century before the beginning of the era. No jams have been found in Heet’s speakers.

In order to find The connection between Anatolia and the Jamni Reich led by Reich went to find the origin of the Jamni.

It needed a genome from 428 people who have long lived across the Aro and in the mountains of the Caucasus.

The task was not easy as Jamnat expanded their habitat extremely quickly. Their genetic mark looked the same in different places because it did not change along the way.

Reich compares the situation to tracing the cancer tumor’s starting point.

“It is not possible to say where the tumor has started because it has expanded so fast.”

Still, the group found as if it found a genetic trace that unites the earliest Jamnat and Anatolians.

Bridge During the week, published in Nature the two of you study The result was that the Jamn people were born in the 4000s BC, when people who were inherited in the Caucasus and the Ala-Volga area set off and blended with many hunter-collector groups north of the Black Sea. The genetic family of the same Caucasus-Ala-Volga population also appeared in Anatolia.

On this basis, researchers suggest that the earliest Indo-European language speakers lived between Caucasus and Ala-Volga. They took their tongue to Anatolia and the Black Sea Caspia, where Jamnat and their offspring spread the tongue forward.

Group is the best in the world and work credible, but the debate on the subject will certainly continue, says an ancient DNA researcher, professor of genetics Päivi Onkamo From the University of Turku.

Genetics cannot prove what language people spoken.

The second leader of the group, the geneticist of Harvard University Iosef lazaridis says In NatureHowever, the group has made a good presentation to resolve the riddle.

For the first time, there is evidence of migrants who have come to Anatolia who have been able to bring an Indo -European language.
