Another interesting article on the same subject. I find this stuff about the origins of language fascinating.

Drs. Anthony and Atkinson seem to disagree on the origins and it's interesting to see their conclusions being challenged. I guess I would rather be descended from those pastoral Turks than from those warlike charioteers of Kurgen.
Interesting stuff indeed Pat.
