In February 2025, a groundbreaking study led by researchers from the University of Vienna and Harvard University revealed the "missing link" in the history of Indo-European languages—the Caucasus-Lower Volga (CLV) population. By analyzing ancient DNA from 435 individuals who lived between 6400 and 2000 BCE, scientists uncovered the genetic and linguistic origins of nearly half the world's population. This discovery connects the dots between the Yamnaya culture, the Anatolian Hittites, and the spread of Indo-European languages across Eurasia.
Join us as we explore this fascinating journey through human ancestry, ancient migrations, and the evolution of language. Learn how the CLV population shaped the genetic and linguistic landscape of Europe and Asia, and why this discovery is a turning point in our understanding of human history.
