>>17799497I feel like in a hundred years people will realize just like we have realized that pottery isn't people that languages aren't always people either. And that modelling them like people in families is counterproductive.
Not to speak of the fact that the model both corroborates and disproves the timeline for IE migration currently accepted. It's all over the place. How do you expect to compare Tocharian or Anatolian with say Germanic meaningfully when you measure for density along thousands of years?
That's beside the fact that you just post this without naming the source and interpret your ideology into this. "Whitoid" so you're antagonistic against European people? Wow, I am excited to read what you have to say...
Frankly, a combination of genetic ancestry, material culture and linguistic modelling based on lexical data in one chart should already make anyone with even a fucking associates degree suspicious. It's not that the model accounts for that. It's the assumption that all this data can be displayed in one chart. These all need to corroborate each other. You assume that these cultures did x, that your language data is correct, that your DNA data is relevant and correct, and that you can also just like that add a fourth point in the divergence of IE languages. This is like a thesis without a question that just meanders about and gives you a bunch of data and leaves you to it.
This looks like some Eupedic bullshit to be entirely honest.
