Black Sea Flood; was: non-Anatolian PIE

[Hans Holm]

RD>Ryan and Pitman had not yet published their Black Sea Flood discovery.

The black sea, or, more exact, its northwestern part, was 'flooded' in the
middle of the 5th millennium BC, according to my information.

RD>Now that flood will have to be taken into account by anyone
RD>speculating how the community that gave us PIE could have been severed
RD>from the community that gave us PA.

..< According to this time depth I would find it difficult if not daring
to draw connections in favour of any theory of IE diversification.
