***R Isn't Oppenheimer perceived as a quack? I've read that his views on British genealogy were laughed down. I would think that gene flow went from West to East with the initial settlement of Asia --as the geneticist from National Geographic points out (I forget his name). But the drowning of Sundaland may well be analogous to the purported effects of the flooding of the Black Sea, which some see as responsible to the spread of IE. But from Sundaland to Sumeria, that takes a bit of convincing. But if anyone can do it, it's you, Torsten Howe III (couldn't resist the pun with Gilligan's Island).
