Two sentences that contradict each other:
1. “it turns out the enigmatic Etruscans were local to the area, with nearly identical genetics to their Latin-speaking neighbors.
*****
2. “both groups appear to be migrants from the Pontic-Caspian steppe — a long, thin swath of land stretching from the north Black Sea around Ukraine to the north Caspian Sea in Russia.”
“local to the area” and “migrants from the Pontic-Caspian steppe”, are not one and the same thing.
The implication is, they’d all come from a Bronze Age era overland migration.
