Holmes rejects or severly critizes the quantitative methods used by
Gray, McMahon, Ringe in the "Arboreteum" paper. His on SLR method does
not produce the first branch as Anatolian. The map shown below

http://www.hjholm.de/SLRD-map.jpg

is based on that premise. Here is the problem. The earliest
branching of Anatolian is I think unversally agreed upon by IEL. How
important is this to maintain a norhtern Caspian scenerio?
