Big aDNA study led by the fantastic @iosiflazaridis.bsky.social that helps to resolve the spread of Indo-European languages. 🗣🧬🌍
Includes genomes of 211 Yamnaya (~3000 BCE) from the Steppes between Hungary and central Asia - revealing a dramatic demographic expansion and extreme mobility. #PopGen

Our papers, out today in @nature.com, show how ancient DNA from the Eneolithic and Bronze Age steppe points to a North Pontic origin of the Indo-European language family and a Caucasus-Lower Volga (CLV) origin of Indo-Anatolian (inclusive of the now extinct Anatolian languages). 1/
