That spurs interest as you think about the Megalith Cultures and the cave art which was such a golden age of early man. They had to have been there a long time and the Basques would seem to be one group of their decendents.

Of course the linguists would say that they are distinct and unrelated to the Indo-European. So this gives you six distinct areas of cultural origins. Semetic Middle East, Europe, North Africa, Iran/Stepp, China and Southeast Asian basin. Each has very distinct elements very early that the others do not.
