Were the Etruscans truly a separate people and culture? Or did they morph into “The Romans”? Especially because the Romans adopted many aspect of Etruscan culture.

How do anthropologists make the distinction between one people and another. Cultures evolve., people evolve, governments evolve, languages evolve. There aren’t many abrupt changes except through conquest, massive natural disasters or changing climates.

Amazing find! And untouched for 2,600 years. That’s amazing.
