New Historical Linguistics Paper Get IE Languages Badly Wrong

A new paper in Nature Communications on historical linguistics fails disastrously by claiming that the Indo-European languages had a Neolithic dispersal time from Anatolia. This utterly undermines the credibility of the methodology as a whole, and makes it not worth even bothering to read carefully in any other respect. Mountains of work in myriad papers considering ancient DNA, linguistics, and archaeology, done by far more competent researchers, contradict this paper. This paper never should have cleared peer review.

The idiots who wrote this fatally flawed paper are Sizhe Yang, Xiaoru Sun, Li Jin, and Menghan Zhang.
