TLDR
An attempt to recover the first-order subgrouping of the Indo-European family using a new computational method devised by the authors and based on a ‘perfect phylogeny’ algorithm is reported.Abstract:
This paper reports the results of an attempt to recover the first-order subgrouping of the Indo-European family using a new computational method devised by the authors and based on a ‘perfect phylogeny’ algorithm. The methodology is also briefly described, and points of theory and methodology are addressed in connection with the experiment whose results are here reported.read more

Language-tree divergence times support the Anatolian theory of Indo-European origin
TL;DR: An analysis of a matrix of 87 languages with 2,449 lexical items produced an estimated age range for the initial Indo-European divergence of between 7,800 and 9,800 years bp, in striking agreement with the Anatolian hypothesis.

Transmission and Diffusion
TL;DR: The authors found that structural constraints are lost in the diffusion of the New York City pattern of tensing short-a to four other communities: northern New Jersey, Albany, Cincinnati, and New Orleans.

TL;DR: Both the inferred timing and root location of the Indo-European language trees fit with an agricultural expansion from Anatolia beginning 8000 to 9500 years ago, which supports the suggestion that the origin of the language family was indeed Anatolia 7 to 10 thousand years ago—contemporaneous with the spread of agriculture.

TL;DR: It is shown that Steppe ancestry then integrated further south in the first half of the second millennium BCE, contributing up to 30% of the ancestry of modern groups in South Asia, supporting the idea that the archaeologically documented dispersal of domesticates was accompanied by the spread of people from multiple centers of domestication.

Structural Phylogenetics and the Reconstruction of Ancient Language History
TL;DR: Papuan languages show an archipelago-based phylogenetic signal that is consistent with the current geographical distribution of languages, and the most plausible hypothesis is the divergence of the Papuan languages from a common ancestral stock, as part of late Pleistocene dispersals.
