Interesting historical theory. But clearly this is being pushed by the greenies doing their usual global whining.

These writers are almost eight years late to this story. Ryan and Pittman proposed this theory in their book,
Noah's Flood back in 2000.

Also, I expect these Anatolian farmers took their Indo-European language with them too. Further, this flood may be why some Europeans migrated all the way to China.

I think a lot of the Great Flood legends are dim memories of a possible asteroid or comet crash off the US East Coast around 10,000 BC that may have caused massive flooding of the eastern Atlantic shoreline from impact-generated tsumanis. It also could be the result of early humans watching ice dams collapse from the receding glaciers at the end of the last great Ice Age, which flooded huge swaths of land.

the collapse of the North American ice sheet, which raised global sea levels by as much as 1.4 meters, displaced tens of thousands of people in southeastern Europe Sounds like "global warming" to me. And to think, they did it all without automobiles, industrialization, carbon offsets, and all the "evils" of big business, George W. Bush, America, and Western civilization.

The real connection between the flood and European farming is that Japheth took some farming manuals to read during the flood, while his brothers just played checkers the whole time.
To: anymouse
This timeline and “flood” correspond to the general warming period that we are experiencing now. The expansion of farming across Europe was just as likely because all of the sudden it got warmer. And, despite the folks who want our planet to be a uniform temperature, warm is almost always good, especially compared to the cold periods which have a tendency to last for 60,000 years.
