Compare the headline: Scientists SOLVE the mystery...
To the actual report:
“A new genetic analysis MAY HAVE finally revealed the origin of the Etruscans”.
This is what they do. Lie and deceive.
This is harmless. Other things are not.

My dad lived near Perugia for 20 years and was fascinated with the Etruscans and Hannibal and his brothers.
Sorry he’s not around to read your good post... thx

Translation....immigrants married local girls
The culture and language are from those who came from elsewhere but locals joined them and intermarried with them, so after a couple of centuries the DNA of the locals prevailed.
Which is why most English have Celtic DNA, not Anglo Saxon DNA, and most Hungarians have Slavic DNA.
Language and culture is not genetic.

I like to read articles like this and interject "Monkeys may have flown out of my butt today."

I don’t know where the Etruscans are from, and LiveScience may or may not be right, but I do know that the Tuscany region where they lived is beautiful. There may be surprises about where they came from and why, but no mystery as to why they stayed once they got there.

I remember seeing the same symbol in floors in some ancient settlements. Wonder how it became the Nazi symbol...suppose I can google it...but who cares.
To: LadyDoc
Good point. I’ve often wondered why in some such cases like the etrand bulgarians the language of the conquered prevails, while in the case of Turkey and Hungary, the language of the conquerors prevailed.

"appear to be migrants from the Pontic-Caspian steppe"
I think I'm from the Pontiac-Chieftan steppe.

Modern Hungarians have plenty of Slavic and Germanic DNA. The Hungarian government at different times invited settlers in to repopulate the country after various wars, famines, plagues, etc reduced the population.

Hmmm
Only flaw in that slaw is the language...if they all came from the same place why was Etruscan so different?

Etruscan is known to be some kind of an aboriginal language like Basque’s ancestor.
The premise is that the people came from Anatolia and absorbed the local people but took on their language - like the Bulgarians.
