Lots of archaeolinguistics, a bit of genetics and highly interesting new opening in geolinguistics. Which, supposingly, also our work partly is. Jenni Santaharju presented our manuscript “Drivers of the East-West human group boundary in Finland” and Outi Vesakoski and Michael Dunn discussed theoretically how we should comprehend and study gene-language correlations  by giving a talk “Synchronous and asynchronous development of linguistic and genetic landscapes”.
