Language trees with sampled ancestors support a hybrid model for the origin of Indo-European languages

It's amazing to hear, say, Hindi and German and realize they come from the same roots.
- What is mental is that there are other languages in the Indian subcontinent that are not part of that language family at all!
  
  True about Europe as well. Finnish, for example.
Today I learned the Indus Valley Civilization had a language with no surviving descendants
