What would cause a society to give rise to a new language and culture that would become proto-Indo-European and when and where did this happen?
One of the strongest candidates for this ethnogenesis, which merged first farmer Neolithic peoples descended from Anatolians with Caucasian and Eastern hunter-gatherer populations, is that it happened as a result of widespread intermarriage across these cultural barriers in the Tripolye-Sredniy Stog archaeological cultures.
Evidence for this hypothesis is offered in a materials quoted in a recent post at the Eurogenes blog.
