Dear Phil,

I'll go back to Cavalli-Sforza, because his gene-wave
analysis, as far as I can recall, doesn't contradict
the usual ideas on the population of Europe. In
particular, the indo-european spread by farming, as
proposed by Colin Renfrew since about 10 000 b.C.E.,
is confirmed by Cavalli-Sforza's analysis.

And - current status of knowledge (BTW since Schlegel
in the 19th century, Rask, Saussure, Meillet and
Vendryes, Benveniste usw) is that the Keltic languages
are a centum group within the i.-e. family.
