Actually, although I am veering widely from the realm of Science into
strictly matters of faith, I tend to appreciate the similarity to what one
would expect from the Biblical account of Noah.
Each son married to a female descended of possibly different pre-flood
populations, the females bearing divergent Phenotypes or even language which
become fixed in that populations descendants, and each family
group expanding, while moving millenia after millenia further out from "the
mountains of Ararat" (Genesis 8:4) in their own chosen direction. The
kingdom/mountains of Uratu, are just north of mesopotamia, and just south of
the Black Sea.
