Link for the study: A global analysis of matches and mismatches between human genetic and linguistic histories

The conclusion itself is nothing new, but there are some interesting tidbits, such as about 1/5 of the gene-language relations being a mismatch.

Fascists are going to have a hard time facing reality.

For the fascists just yet another description of reality that they need to ignore and ad hoc and distract people from, in order to push their idiotic prescriptions. It's like they're trying to cover the Sun with a sieve, one more hole won't do much of a difference.

Although this hole is specially relevant when we take cases where people shifted to IE languages (see: plenty Jewish varieties, colonial languages) or from IE languages to something else (see: Hungarian, Maltese) - both throw a rotten egg at any claim of intrinsic relation between culture and race, or that some cultures would be intrinsically superior.

Yeah, their whole ideology depend on not facing reality and ignoring science, so one more proof of anything will obviously will not do anything.

¡Aguante el mate y el rio paraná (aunque este medio sucio hoy en dia)!
