I just listened to a great podcast on the explosion of human genomic data about human migration, which ties in with the spread of ancient language groups, and reveals some of past cultural practices.
It is Sean Carroll's Mindscape podcast #179; David Reich on genetics and ancient humanity.
This field has been moving very fast in the last few years, and this guy covers it well.

I find it fascinating that new information from one field can be so illuminating in another field.

Especially when it finds flaws in previous held theories. Enjoyed it immensely.
 

Thread 'Why is the plural for moose not meese?'

The piece came-up from the "Lame Jokes" section of the forum. Someobody carried a step from one of the posts and I became curious and tried a brief web search. A web page gives some justification of sorts why we can use goose(s)-geese(p), but not moose(s)-meese(p). Look for the part of the page headed with "Why isn't "meese" the correct plural?" https://languagetool.org/insights/post/plural-of-moose/
