Kalyanaraman has just tried to draw our attention to a potted history of human language by NS Rajaram at http://www.dailypioneer.com/sunday-edition/sundayagenda/cover-story-agenda/115743-history-reborn.html . There is also a copy at http://bharatkalyan97.blogspot.in/2012/12/history-reborn-ns-rajaram.html , which may last longer.

It's a blend of recent discoveries and wishful thinking, dating Indo-European to at least 45,000 BP and essentially making it the surviving out-of-Africa language family. (I think this is just relabelling of what has not been demonstrated to be related.) Look at the article as a list of topics that may be of interest; I cannot endorse it beyond that, and as a whole I rejected it as pseudo-science.
