> I was wondering, what did the first European H. sapiens sapiens
speak? Well, I would guess they spoke a Sino-Caucasian language --
probably related to NW and NE Caucasian, Vinca and Hattic. I call it
Paleo-European, which includes Iberian, Pictish, Ligurian, "Balko-
Danubian" etc.
Ligurian is generally believed to be a Celtic dialect these days, and
Pictish is thought to be a a dialect of Brittonic, making it Celtic
as well.
