Our colleague, Axel Palm\u00e9r has just published a book Indo-Slavic Lexical Isoglosses and the Prehistoric Dispersal of Indo-Iranian<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Axel I. Palm\u00e9r, Ph.D. (2024, Leiden University), is currently a Human Past Junior Fellow at the Swedish Collegium for Advanced Study (SCAS) in Uppsala, Sweden. His research focuses on the origin and development of the Indo-European languages in prehistory.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

During the past decade, the ancient DNA revolution has had a massive impact on the scholarly debates on the origins and dispersals of language families. Now, linguists are asking the question: does linguistic and genetic evidence paint the same picture of the human past? This book sheds new light on an old hypothesis on the relatedness of Indo-Iranian and Balto-Slavic languages, by studying unique lexical correspondences of these branches. It argues that their common\u00a0Indo-Slavic<\/em>\u00a0origin supports an emerging picture based on ancient DNA, which shows a genetic relationship between prehistoric populations of Eastern Europe and Central Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The book, in a in series:\u00a0Leiden Studies in Indo-European<\/a>, Volume: 26, is freely available for downloading from Brill.com<\/a>. It would be of interest for (Indo-European) historical linguists, (Bronze Age) archaeologists, and geneticists working on Eurasia, as well as students of the same elds, both post-graduate and under-graduate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Congratulations, Axel!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
