Dunno if the author's around, but Haskell does not descend from Lisps in the way that he thinks; it is much more closely related to the ML family.

It isn't descended from Prolog either -- I presumed the author was making a point about conceptually similar flavours of type systems, semantics etc. and Haskell's position as a typed Lambda calculus.
