Wait, I thought you said that the Aurignacian culture spread from France
west across the more widespread steppes existant then. ?? So to be clear,
this Second Wave (DeneCaucasian) came out of Egypt into Anatolia? This is
what I was claiming all along, the S-Group (NigerK, Nostratic, BuruYen,
SinoDene) moves along the south eastward and up to the eastern steppes and
the T-Group going north and west (Basque, NEC, Hattic, HurroU). Please
clarify.
