The new arboretum of Indo-European “trees”. Can new algorithms reveal the phylogeny and even prehistory of Indo-European?*

Abstract

Specialization in linguistics vs. biological informatics leads to widespread misunderstandings and false results caused by poor knowledge of the essential conditions of the respective methods and data applied. These are analyzed and the insights used to assess the recent glut of attempts to employ methods from biological informatics in establishing new phylogenies of Indo-European languages.
