The origin of the IE group is very, very far away from Europe. This is extremely obvious if you take a simple scientific approach which, needless to say, virtually no-one has done.<br />When I was at university in the Eighties, I was taught the homeland was in Germany or somewhere in Central Europe, without any credible basis whatsoever. Virtually all respected subsequent work, including Mallory and Renfrew, suffer from the same essentially dishonest and corrupt intellect.<br />That the origin of the people is in Eastern Asia, not in Eastern Europe and its vicinity, is abundantly clear. <br />Why can so many people not see this very evident truth?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33159158.post-38195326975584367312010-05-08T09:05:17.049-05:002010-05-08T09:05:17.049-05:00Well, part of the point of my original post was I ...Well, part of the point of my original post was I guess that this seems likely. <br /><br />Our evidence is so limited and so shaky that it's extremely difficult to exclude many details, and so the range of possible accounts that would be consistent with all available evidence is pretty broad. <br /><br />A lot of people seem to be thinking along these lines, but not really developing a grand synthesis yet.Joenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33159158.post-19640371470869078492010-05-08T08:57:54.153-05:002010-05-08T08:57:54.153-05:00To what extent do you agree with the statement mad...To what extent do you agree with the statement made by Gray and Atkinson that it might have been possible for both major theories to coexist?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33159158.post-82278117355086370212010-05-08T08:42:58.362-05:002010-05-08T08:42:58.362-05:00Previous comment by Rebecca Allsebrook, 21, UK.Previous comment by Rebecca Allsebrook, 21, UK.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33159158.post-17204418769638232872010-05-08T08:41:43.397-05:002010-05-08T08:41:43.397-05:00Thanks.

There's now been a lot of reaction to the book of course and work on this question, but I don't know if anybody is particularly working on hybrid approaches.Joenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33159158.post-80803770390254120272010-05-08T08:28:00.085-05:002010-05-08T08:28:00.085-05:00I am a third year English Language Student at the ...I am a third year English Language Student at the University of Wales, Swansea and I am currently writing an essay on this very topic. I found your summary of the book to be very concise and informing, and believe the proposal of a hybrid theory by Atkinson and Gray to be promising.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
