I was late for work this morning, because I got stuck in Zeno's paradox

Research into the origin of Europeans is based on genetic information and similarities between the different languages. According to the theory, Europe was colonized by tribes known as Indo-Europeans who came from the area of Asia minor. The main problem with this theory is that is cannot explain the presence of races such as the Magyars from Hungary, or the Basque from northern Spain.

You can find plenty of information about this on the web. For current research in this field I suggest that you do a search on PubMed (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez)
