Recently, the media discussed a sensational article by The Wall Street Journal, which states that half of the people living on our planet today descend from a culture on the territory of Ukraine 5,000 years ago, in particular, represented by a settlement in the village of Mykhailivka, Kherson region. And it was from here that the development of various languages began.
