as an (ex)-Indo-Europeanist let me remind everyone that dozens of
"definitive locations" have been presented over the past 150 or so
years. I am not yet placing my bet behind this present offering.
(Although Eastern Turkey is a nice place to come from... and to visit)

Yes Steven, it has to do with the spread of agriculture from Anatolia into
Europe. So actually we're all speaking the language of the first farmers of
four millennia ago! Interesting, because it were not (or hardly) the
farmers themselves that spread into Europe, only their way of living was
taken over by other peoples. And, as we can see now, their way of speaking.
So their superiour techniques made a great part of the rest of the world
take over their language as well.
Maybe comparable with the way native Americans took over Spanish in South
American?

They are now looking at the words "motherf*" to see where the first row
spoken in an Indo-European language started!!!
