Re: Basque/Georgian

Glen & Gerry

Yes we have agreement on Nostratic (15,000-8,500)

Afro-Asiatic splits off first (but in Africa)

Kartvelian splits off second (in the Middle East)

Eurasiatic splits off third (as the microlithic-mesolithic cultures fan
out across the inner and outer Eurasian forests)

It is interesting Glen that this is fully in accord with genetics! And
with cultural movements! Your movement of Afro-Asiatic from the Middle
East back into Africa is not in accord with either genetics not
cultural movements.

So our agreement is only qualified (until Glen gives me a convincing
argument about how Afro-Asiatic got out of Asia and back into Africa.
