Even the current family tree as drawn by IEL (which is in need of some
serious revision imho), can be explained with migrations out of South
Asia as explained on page 80 of proto vedic continuity.doc

There is no archaeological continity the other way round either, as I
have shown by quoting Kenoyer a leading expert in South Asian

There is no archaeological evidence to confirm any of the massive
migrations hypothesized by IEL. see p. 23 of proto vedic continuity
