THIS Thursday: I shall discuss the findings of the breakthrough paper on IE origins "The Genetic Origin of the Indo-Europeans" (2024), and also a little about the other paper "A genomic history of the North Pontic Region from the Neolithic to the Bronze Age" on JIVE TALK.

David Reich walks back the PIE from South-of-the-Caucasus stuff he pushed in 2022, now working with David Anthony and nearly 300 new samples to arrive at a very different conclusion.

There IS steppe ancestry in Anatolia and this is how Indo-European languages got there. They are claiming a Caucasian migration route, but I think Balkans is more plausible.

They say PIE came from no further south than the North Caucasus, but likely further north on the steppe itself! Of course I support the steppe itself.

This is a game changer and puts the discourse back on the right track.

Here is a brief write up on one of the main claims from the new paper about Germanic language and genetics. I shall also do a JIVE TALK live stream on Monday afternoon where i go over some of the other findings.

If you have any questions you can post them here.

Tonight on Jive Talk I speak to Stone age Herbalist, a dissident archaeologist, twitter personality and substack blogger. In this Jive Talk he describes the ancient origins of archaeology as a discipline, how it rose to a more rigorous practice in the modern era and then degenerated into modern woke archaeology. We discuss gay cavemen, transgender vikings, the migrations and invasions of Anglo-Saxons, Beaker folk, Yamnaya, Aryans and others and finally end with a chat about anthropology in general.

See you all there!

Sturla Ellingvåg of @Viking Stories - economist and historian from Norway - returns to Jive Talk for the third time, now to discuss the origins of the Scandinavian people in the Nordic Bronze age and what genetic science can tell us about this mysterious period in human history. We will also discuss the possible origin of the I1 paternal haplogroup.

I love this paper. Here is my full analysis and summary on Jive Talk. It isn't actually a live stream this time. There will be a live stream on Sunday night with Sturla though

This talk is also available in podcast form on all the main podcast platforms

Sorry I forgot to post this here in advance of the stream. Hopefully you were notified via YouTube or Gab or Telegram.

I discuss the findings of the very interesting new paper on the genetic replacements of central Europe in the Neolithic and Bronze Age.
