I don't know what you're getting at by that.

Frankly, anbody who can't see a problem with classifying languages
using genes (as opposed to using **direct linguistic criteria**) shouldn't
be involved in either genetics or linguistics. That has nothing to do
with anything being wrong with physics. It's to do with misapplying
scientific data -- something everybody should be, but isn't, paying
attention
to enough these days.
