Re: Renfrew's theory renamed as Vasco-Caucasian

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dene-Caucasian_languages

Burushaski has been all over the place in terms of familial
classication. Supporters of the Aryan Invasion Theory want it to be a
Dravidian language.

"Attempts have been made to establish a genealogic relationship
between Burushaski and Sumerian,[citation needed] and the Caucasian,
Dravidian,[citation needed] and Indo-European[1] language families;
Burushaski is also part of the Dené-Caucasian hypothesis, along with
Yeniseian, Caucasian, and Sino-Tibetan. However, none of these
efforts have met with general acceptance."
