<div><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font>Except for a direct analysis and comparison of languages,
there may be other approaches to investigate what early people had in
common, as working hypothesis for explaining variation in language.</font></span></div><div style="font-style:normal;background-color:transparent"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font> </font></span></div>
<div style="font-style:normal;background-color:transparent"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font>A
classical is archeology. So has the extension of common aspects of
early pottery been used for delimiting the area inhabited by early Celts
on the continent.</font></span></div><div style="font-style:normal;background-color:transparent"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font> </font></span></div><div style="font-style:normal;background-color:transparent">
<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font>An
interesting appraoch I think could also be the sharing of mythology. An
interesting special issue of the (popular) French Magazine "Religions
et Histoire" is focussed on "Préhistoire des Religions" (N° 45,
Juillet-Août 2012, 82 pp.; pages 20-63 cover the topic).</font></span></div><div style="font-style:normal;background-color:transparent"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font> </font></span></div><div style="font-style:normal;background-color:transparent">
<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font>Also
DNA analysis is often used for detecting migration patterns. I
printscreened the positioning of myself in the "23andMe" mapping,
together with some additional
diagrams (attached).</font></span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font>Some populations are relatively homogeniously concentrated. Others are very distinct as:</font></span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font>- the Orkneys in the North European group</font></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font>- the Basks and the Sardinians in the European group.</font></span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font>Since it may interest some members in the group, I also printscreened:</font></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font>- the Middle East group: the jewish people are included in the Palistinean group</font></span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font>- the Native American group.</font></span></div>
