Theory', not as a discussion of AIT/OIT, which has been reclosed.
I've therefore taken the liberty of changing the subject title. -

Whose claims are absurd will be decided. For now, it is clear that
the traditionalist Uralist and IEnist are piggybacking on each other.
I posted earlier about a book by Angela Marcantonia from a mainstream
publisher(Wiley?). And that was promptly trashed. I would like to
reiterate the position of Greigoriyev (1998) that there is not a trace
of steppe culture in both Iran and India and this archaeologist has
used this to promote an non steppe homeland in Armenia (Gamkradizhe
and Ivanaov 1984 proposal).
