I've read the linguists have traced the origin of all Indo-European languages back to Anatolia. In the period 5,000-6,000BC this whole area was dry and arid. Any humans living there were huddled around the fresh water Black Sea, fishing and irrigation farming.
Then in 5,600BC, the 'dam' at the Bosporus collapsed and flooded the Black Sea (Noah's Flood?) with salt water, all villages and farm land are now 350 feet underwater.
This was a catastrophy of enormous impact, we're still talking about it 7,500 years later.
Now, this saltwater flooding would have made refugees of almost everyone in the area and they would have streamed up the river valleys into Europe (and elsewhere) displacing everyone in their path. This group of people probably brought their language and introduced farming to Europe and Mesopatamia, even to East Central China as the Tocharians.(See 'Cherchen Man')
I believe these people would eventually become to be known as the Celts, Phoenicians, Scythians, Tocharians and later Picts after mixing some with the Chinese in the Tarim Basin of China and re-migrating. The Xiongnu, in China, were the oriental version of the Picts
In fact, some of these people may have made it all the way to Japan and eventually become known as the Jomon and Ainu....maybe even the Hakka Chinese.
These 'Black Sea' folks are the anscestors of all the folks you all have been fussing about.
Hittite is the only Indoeuropean language that I can find that was dominate in a portion of Anatolia and it was heavily infitrated with Luuvian, a non Indoeuropean language.
Everything that I have read suggests that Indoeuropean spread from the stepp East of Persia and spread East to India and the Eastern boarders of China, then West to Persia, then North to Europe.
I guess you're a KOOK too blam. Welcome to the club. LOL
