An inverse correlation between linguistic and genetic diversity

Anna Graff, Erik J. Ringen, Taras Zakharko, Mark Stoneking, Kentaro K. Shimizu, Balthasar Bickel, Chiara Barbieri

The paper shows that genetic diversity is inversely correlated with linguistic diversity, with isolation promoting linguistic diversification and contact promoting homogenization.
