Received: October 30,2017 Accepted: November 20, 2017 Available online: November 23, 2017 doi: 10.111 14/ijsss.v6i1.2809 URL: https://doi.org/10.11114/ijsss.v6il.2809 Abstract The combination of linguistic and DNA Genealogy data indicates that the aboriginal Europeans, the Y Chromosome haplogroup I people were the Proto-Indo-Europeans and the Proto-Slavic speakers. In contact with newcomers of other language groups mixing took place. Either the newcomers were absorbed into the autochthonous Proto-Slavic community, or the native Proto-Slavic population was so effected by the immigrants that they lost their Slavic identity and formed a language, which remained Indo-European but no longer recognizable as specifically Slavic. The Kurgan Theory and the Pontic Steppe Theory of the Indo-European origin failed completely. The Neolithic Discontinuity Theory theory gives only a part of the necessary explanation. The Paleolithic Continuity Paradigm is superior to them, but it has to be adapted to the data presented by the DNAGenealogy about the timeframe and probable localities of past events. Keywords: DNA Genealogy, origin of humankind, development of humankind, Proto-Indo-Europeans, Proto-Slavs 1. Introduction In December 2016, Mario Alinei and Francesco Benozzo presented an introduction in progress to The Paleolithic Continuity Paradigm for the Origins of Indo-European Languages (Alinei & Benozzo, 2016). In it they presented also the part 2.4 Genetics, where they cite the genetic data published till 2006. This is just the time when a new branch of genetics, the DNA Genealogy, started to be developed (Klyosov, 2009ab). Within this decade, the DNA Genealogy presented a substantial quantity of new data, which should be taken into account when considering the origin of Europeans, their languages as well as the areas and the time frames of continuity of European languages. The overview of these new data till 2016 and their meaning for the origin of Europeans and the development of their languages was published (Perdih, 2016), but afterthem there appeared new important publications, which shed additional light to these questions. The DNA Genealogy data were used also to explain similarities of the words for the animal elephant across Eurasia and Africa (Janddek & Perdih, 2017). For the start of understanding of development of humankind are especially important the following pieces of data: 1.1 The Ancestors ofPresent Humankind The ancestors of present humankind did not develop in Africa about 50,000 to 100,000 years ago but elsewhere (Klyosov & Rozhanskii, 2012b, Klyosov, Rozhanskii, & Ryabchenko, 2013, Klyosov, 2014a), where they had common ancestors from which there split the Denisovans about 800,000 (657,000 to 973,000) years ago and Neanderthals about 400,000 (326,000 to 482,000) years ago (Fu et al., 2013). 1.2 Trunk of the Old Genealogical Tree of Humankind Derivedfrom the YFull Database (Klyosov, 2014c: 1849, YFull, 2017) The trunk of the old genealogical tree of humankind presents the data of when and from which predecessor derive the Y Chromosome haplogroups known at present. The oldest haplogroup known at present is the African haplogroup A00 L1284 formed about 235,900 years ago, but it is not the ancestor of any other haplogroup known at present. The same holds true for the African haplogroups Ala M31 formed about 133,400 years ago, AO L991 (no data), Alb1 L419 formed about 130,700 years ago, and B M60 formed about 88,000 years ago. 18
