🇷🇺WAIT… WAS RUSSIA RIGHT?! LANGUAGE ORIGINATED THERE?!
Ever wonder where English, Spanish, Hindi, Russian, and tons of other languages actually came from?
Turns out, they all trace back to an ancient group of nomads chilling in the steppe grasslands near the Caucasus and Lower Volga—aka modern-day Russia, Georgia, and Kazakhstan—6,500 years ago.
A new DNA study found that these people—now called CLV—were the missing link between early humans and the spread of Indo-European languages.
Later, their descendants, the Yamnaya, spread out and basically gave Europe and Asia its vocabulary.
Scientists have been debating this for 200 years, and now, thanks to DNA evidence, they finally have proof.
So yeah, if you’re speaking English right now, you might have some ancient horse-riding steppe warriors to thank for your ability to complain about WiFi.
