A new study uses ancient DNA to trace the Indo-European language family back to a group of hunter-gatherers in southern Russia.
These people, living approximately 6,000 years ago, unknowingly laid the foundation for a massive language family.
The research involved analyzing DNA from fossilized bones, leading to exciting conclusions about the origins of languages like English and Sanskrit.
While some linguists are enthusiastic, others remain cautious, underscoring the ongoing debate surrounding this complex area of study.
