This project will test two competing models of the origin of the Indo-Europeans (I-E) with computer simulation utilizing genetic information obtained from modern populations. The traditional model views the I-E population of Europe as having originated in three waves between 4500 & 2500 BC. A more recent theory says that the I-E languages are connected with a much earlier origin of agriculture. A series of tests, utilizing genetic data from 3481 locations in Europe, will examine which of these two models is more likely in terms of the available biological information. The outcome of these tests will be of considerable interest to anthropologists, archaeologists, and linguists concerned with the origin of the peoples representing this major language group.

该项目将测试两个竞争模型的起源， 印欧人（I-E）与计算机模拟利用遗传 从现代人口中获得的信息。 传统 模型认为欧洲的I-E人口起源于 公元前4500年到2500年之间的三次浪潮。 最近的一个理论认为， I-E语言与更早的起源有关 农业。 一系列的测试，利用遗传数据， 在欧洲的3481个地点，将研究这两种模式中的哪一种 根据现有的生物学信息更有可能。 这些测试的结果将是相当感兴趣的， 人类学家、考古学家和语言学家 代表这一主要语言群体的民族的起源。
