probably no one here is interested, but indoeuropean languages all descend from a proto language spoken by a population called Yamnaya which a few millennia ago inhabited the Pontic-Caspian
area which corresponds to Ukraine-southern Russia. These Yamnaya people are the proto-indoeuropeans. Language experts had already noted the similarities existing between the languages
spoken in Europe and they had come up to the conclusion that they all come from a same proto language spoken by common ancestors. DNA analysis have now confirmed that hypothesis.
A few kilometers south of where I live, the largest burial site or ''necropoli'' of pre-historic northern italy that has recently been found, has offered to archeologists material dating back to 4500
years ago. Yamnaya DNA was found there. Archeology and antropology are a true passion.
