Re: [tied] Origin of the Etruscans

Now that I look for the article on Anatolian DNA in
Val Camonica, I can't find it
However, I've wondered about the possibility of a band
of Tyrrhenian settlement from Anatolia through Greece
to Italy and if and how pre-Hellenic languages
(Eteo-Cretan, Linear A, etc.) might be related to
Etruscan.
Brown's book has some tantalizing clues but someone
with more time and knowledge than me will have to look
at that
