The phylogeny of language families, the chronology of branching of linguistic family trees and the historical and modern geographical distribution of language communities inform us about the spread of languages and linguistic phyla. The global distribution and the chronology of spread of Y chromosomal haplogroups appears closely correlated with the spread of language families. New findings on ancient DNA have greatly enhanced our understanding of the prehistory and provenance of our biological ancestors. The archaeological study of past material cultures provides yet a third independent window onto the complex prehistory of our species"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aLanguages of the greater Himalayan region ;$vVolume 26. 606 $aAnthropological linguistics 607 $aHimalaya Mountains Region$xLanguages 615 0$aAnthropological linguistics. 676 $a306.44089 700 $aDriem$b George van$f1957-$01571287 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910794653003321 996 $aEthnolinguistic prehistory$93845617 997 $aUNINA
