Did you catch the comment: " There are no indigenous languages left in Europe, barring Euskara."

Believe it or not, even after the DNA findings that set the Sa'ami (Laplanders) apart from all the other Europeans, there are those still fighting a battle to the effect that being Sa'ami is a matter of culture, not genes.

The language theories that made the 11 still spoken Sa'ami languages part of a broader Finno-Ughric subfamily are as obviously in error now and they were when they were invented. The situation is the Sa'ami languages are old enough to have LENT grammatical structures to the Northern European Germanic sub-family (which is darned old), but they share a substantial vocabulary with Finnish, Estonian and Turkish languages all the way to Siberia (See: Yakuts/Sakha).

The likelihood is that the Sa'ami languages, along with Euskara, are the only indigenous languages left in Europe, and to a degree not previously imagined, have served in the development of the entire Turkish subgroup.

If we are still around 50 years from now some of these guys in Finland and Estonia are still going to be arguing this ~ they actually fear that the government is going to give land back to the Sa'ami.

That sort of thing NEVER happens!

"It is likely that Neanderthals were absorbed by modern humans,"

I was under the impression the consensus was that homo sapiens and neanderthals didn't interbreed.

That was last year's consensus. This year's consensus is that they didn't until they did. Something like that.

More seriously, I think it's that better DNA analysis is changing the opinion to that neanderthal DNA is indeed in the Eurasian populations.
