Domnule Alexe,
Am citit cu mult interes articolul dvs.
Fara sa fiu lingvist, sunt interesata de lingvistica si am citit o serie de articole despre limba proto-indo-europeana, precum si despre zonele unde se presupune ca se gaseau vorbitorii ei.
Am retinut ca exista doua mari ipoteze: ipoteza Kurgan si ipoteza Anatolia. Inteleg ca dvs. inclinati spre prima ipoteza si aduceti argumente lingvistice in acest sens. Articolele pe care le-am parcurs eu se refereau mai ales la dovezile arheologice, dar si la argumente lingvistice si genetice.
In august 2012, BBC a publicat un articol preluat din revista Science (http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-19368988), care, in baza unor argumente furnizate prin utilizarea analizei filogenetice (o tehnica proprie biologiei), sustinea intaietatea ipotezei Anatolia fata de ipoteza Kurgan.
As fi vrut sa stiu ce parere aveti despre acest articol din Science.
Cu multumiri,
Clara Simionescu
ipoteza anatoliana are multe hibe,comparativ cu kurganul
-roata nu era inventata
-toate limbile din zona erau non-indo-europene
-metalul nu era folosit pe scara larga etc
