****GK: The Renfrew/Bellwood school has nothing with
which to decisively counter the Corded Ware expansion
theory. In any case, there is something more
significant here. Renfrew's notion is a variant of the
"Western" theory of IE origins. Those (like Kelkar)who
are true believers in the SAHT should advance
archaeological,linguistic, and other acceptable data
to make their case. Renfrew won't help.So far, if I
might be permitted the levity of another simile, their
view is like the itty bitty spermatozoon
unsuccessfully looking for a home (:=)), unfortunately
dying again and again, only to be launched (:=)) again
and again. Sapienti sat.OK Torsten so it's
"alive"(:=))****
