DNA sequence data[2] shows that at least one mummy had a haplotype characteristic of western Eurasia, confirming the earlier suggestion that the mummies are of at least partial West Asian descent.

I'll buy brunch if you can tell me what is the haplotype they refer to in this article. I'm sure it's out 'there', I just can't find it.

Sorry. When I reach the "BCE" and the "CE" I stop reading under the presumption of an agenda driven analysis.

Okay. I'll make note of that in my files beside your name. Ahem, "Does not like BCE or CE."

Files? Name?

[blam]

"Files? Name? "

It was meant to be funny.

[William Terrell]

Oh. I was prepared to be flattered.

[SunkenCiv]

I think that haplotype was first identified in “They’ll Do It Every Time”, in the Haplo’s History sidebar. ;’) IOW, brunch will remain dutch treat.

A simpler explanation is that the Indo-European languages can be grouped into two categories, the centum languages and the satem languages, after the word for "100" in Latin and in Avestan. There is a consistent pattern where the K sound in the one group corresponds to the S sound in the other. In the Germanic languages the K became an H sound--so Latin centum, canis and cor correspond to English "hundred," "hound," and "heart."

The Indo-Iranian languages (including Scythian) belong to the satem group (along with the Slavic languages--Russian sto for 100), but the Tocharian languages are centum languages like most of the European languages--they are not closely related to the Indo-European languages nearest them geographically, such as Sanskrit, Scythian, or Persian.

Just checking to see how you're doing on your reading. (Ahem)

Wow, that was a fast five years. Back when this topic started, the Tocharians were a thousand years in the past, now they’re 1005 years in the past. ;^)
