your conclusion

Isn't too bad... The archaeology seems to hold up pretty well, except
for your hypothesis about Semitish in the Aegean circa 6,000 BCE... I
would suspect that either Pelasgian/Etruscan/Lemnian, or some relative
of Khattic were the substrate languages here, not Semitish... Glen,
you will be pleased to know that the genetics holds up pretty well
too...

Great to see you pushing the dates back a little and accepting out of
Africa so handsomely.... ;-)
