-- moving the PIE speakers around Anatolia again, are we?

One minute these people of 7000 BCE are in far eastern Anatolia, among the
red deer.  Next they're in the steppes where there are no yew trees.

And they must have been _very careful_ not to see the lions, leopards and roe
deer; not to mention the olives and vines native to central and western
Anatolia.

Meanwhile, by time-travel and telepathy, they knew all about horses and
wheeled vehicles, thousands of years before the development of those
technologies.

Astoundingly capable people -- perhaps Alien Space Bats were involved?

What a waste of time and effort.
