Not everyone would agree, Ellen, on either score. And it is a logical
fallacy to equate the two separate ideas as if the "sense" of one was
dependant on the "sense" of the other.

It could be that centum Indo-European was not introduced into Western Europe
primarily by R1bs, but it is a fact that there is a strong correlation
between certain y-haplogroups and certain language families.
