No 'scientific' claims are made for PIE until ca. 6000-5500 BCE, well
after the start of the Holocene, and even here, these are just
estimates based on the archaeological record; 'hard' claims are not
asserted until about the mid 3rd millenium.

The Nostraticists have different rules that IEists and can make
conjectures based on just about nothing.

Where are the Pleistocene remains in India?
