	Indo-European Origins in Southeast Europe
		Shaded bars represent the implied age ranges under the two competing theories of Indo-European origin: blue, Kurgan hypothesis; green, Anatolian farming hypothesis.
		Such a view arises directly from the “farming dispersal” hypothesis, since farming came to Europe from Anatolia.
		We test two theories of Indo-European origin: the 'Kurgan expansion' and the 'Anatolian farming' hypotheses.

		There must be a way of testing between the Kurgan and the Anatolian hypothesis.
		And the Kurgan hypothesis, which is perhaps the most widely accepted one, suggests that all these languages sprang from a common source about 6,000 years ago on the Russian steppes.
		Russell Gray is an evolutionary biologist at the University of Auckland who’s leapt into trying to find the answer that linguists have never been sure of; although there have been plenty of theories.

		The Kurgan hypothesis (Cavalli-Sforza, and Gimbutas) correlates with R1a (as noted by Cavalli-Sforza and other researchers), and there is Colin Renfrews Anatolian hypothesis which would correlate with the spread of agriculture and haplogroup J2.
		First, I'll say that I agree with you that the Kurgan Hypothesis is just a theory.
		I agree there are problems with both theories, - but there is a certain degree of evidence for both.

		I for example find the "Kurgan expnasion" hypothesis flawed and subscirbe to the Anatolian one.
		There you go, these are all theories, people tend to believe in the ones that suits their agendas more.
		I suspect that Kevorkian has it right - we are getting confused between the peoples of the Fertile Crescent/ Mespotamia (= contemporary Iraq) and the quite different claim that Anatolia and the Kurgan culture was the source of IE expansion.

	PALEOSEISMOLOGY OF THE NORTH ANATOLIAN FAULT, A PERSPECTIVE
		However, for the major part of the North Anatolian fault, geological investigations on past earthquakes have not presented enough unique, or useful parameters to assess the risks.
		Seismic risks of the North Anatolian fault became an urgent and important issue after the 1999 Kocaeli (Izmit) earthquake.
		The hypothesis of heightened risks in Istanbul based on the analyses of historic data and stress transfer model, for example, was a significant application of paleoseismology.

	Earthquake Research Project - Intro
		There are indications for the hypothesis that this part of the North Anatolian Fault Zone may be a fault region of "difficult slip", and that here tectonic stresses may be building up considerably faster than in other areas of the fault.
		Here, the fault zone has a width of roughly 3 km and is clearly characterized by a distinct north-south contrast in the rock type: metamorphic rock in the north, right laterally displaced with respect to limestone in the south.
		The western extension of this Mudurnu fault may be seen in the Iznik-Mekece fault which is presently studied within a cooperative Turkish-Japanese project.

	Re: Why don't strong earthquakes trigger other earthquakes?
		With the term short-range we refer to different parts of the same fault (for example parts of the North Anatolian Fault Zone) or to areas that are seismo-tectonically connected (for example Anatolia-Aegean).
		Therefore the occurrence of an earthquake could simply imply the relief in the stress field of an area, instead of a trigger in some neighboring faults (it is very easy to cause panic with the "domino" hypothesis).
		This can be attributed to the kinematic interaction of the Aegean and Anatolian plates (for a review see: "Present-day kinematics of the Middle East and Eastern Mediterranean", Journal of Geophysical Research, Volume 99, pages 12,071- 12,090, 1994).

	Historical Linguistics Encyclopedia Article @ IntAdopt.com (International Adoption)
		Scholars have reconstructed a Proto-Indo-European languae on the basis of data from its nine surviving daughter branches, which are: Germanic, Italic, Celtic, Greek, Baltic, Slavic, Albanian, Armenian, Indo-Iranian, and from the two dead branches Tocharian and Anatolian.
		The hypothesis claims that the Nostratic grouping includes such widely ranging language families as Indo-European, Afro-Asiatic, Uralic, Altaic, Sumerian, Elamo-Dravidian, and Kartvelian.
		Thus, the Germanic languages (which include German, Dutch, English, Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, Faroese, Icelandic, Yiddish, and the extinct Gothic) can be compared to reconstruct Proto-Germanic, a language that was probably contemporaneous with Latin and for which no records are preserved.

	Indo-Hittite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Indo-European linguistics, the term Indo-Hittite refers to the hypothesis that the Anatolian languages may have split off the Proto-Indo-European language considerably earlier than the separation of the remaining Indo-European languages.
		The term is somewhat imprecise, as the prefix Indo- does not refer to the Indo-Aryan branch in particular, but is iconic for Indo-European, and the -Hittite part refers to the Anatolian language family as a whole.
		In this context, the proto-language before the split of Anatolian would be called Proto-Indo-Hittite, and the proto-language of the remaining branches, before the next split, presumably of Tocharian, would be called Proto-Indo-European.

	THE ORIGINS OF THE KILIM
		The bulk of the evidence chosen to demonstrate striking resemblances between the Neolithic murals and Anatolian kilims is drawn not from the photographed paintings and scale drawings included in the official archaeological reports published in the 1960s, but from the 44 examples of sketched reconstructions which did not appear in print until 25 years later.
		While the original hypothesis of the Goddess theory may not hold up under scrutiny, the research it engendered has stimulated interest in the indigenous origins of the kilim.
		Since the abrupt termination of the excavations at Çatal Hüyük in 1965, Mellaart has gone on to put together a new theory for the origins of the Anatolian kilim, the Goddess theory.

	Linguistics and Ideology in the Study of Language
		Indeed, Gamkrelidze's so-called Glottalic Theory is one of the major proposals in the market of ideas in the field, and his Caucasian homeland hypothesis is one of the main current contestants, next to the late Marija Gimbutas' (19211994) Kurgan or Eurasian Steppe hypothesis and Colin Renfrew's (b.1929) Anatolian theory.
		Although it is obvious from his own account that a considerable number of authors had ideological, including at times religious and maybe even political, agenda, Mallory does not raise the issue of ideology, quite in line with traditional scholarly discourse in which this aspect of scientific endeavour has been regularly ignored.
		We know that when the French philosopher A. Destutt de Tracy (17541836) in 1796 coined `idéologie', it was intended to refer to nothing more than a theory of ideas, conceived within a sensorialist view of mind in the tradition of Condillac with practical and socially beneficial intentions, notably in the arena of public education.

	The Rug Company - Ushak Kilim Rugs
		Another hypothesis, the "Goddess Theory", seeking to date these origins to Neolithic Anatolia ca.
		6000BC seems to be supported by observation that many Anatolian kilim motifs appear to reflect stylized images of the archetypical Mother Goddess rooted in prehistoric Anatolia and other symbols related to that era.
		This thesis, however, suffered a serious setback when the credibility of purported archaeological evidence presented in support by British archaeologist Dr. James Mellaart was seriously challenged by highly regarded authorities.

	Wikipedia: Galicia (Central Europe)
		Another hypothesis is that the name refers to the local crows or rooks seen in the area around the the capital city.
		Some historians say that the name, "Galicia" recalls its ancient inhabitants, eastern Gauls, who also may have left their names imprinted on the landscape in Anatolian Galatia and in the Romanian county Galati.

	Articles - Maykop culture
		This would essentially place the Anatolian stock in Anatolia from the beginning, and at least in this instance, agrees with Lord Renfrew's hypothesis.
		Gamkrelidze and Ivanov, whose views are somewhat controversial, suggest that the Maykop culture (or its ancestor) may have been a way-station for Indo-Europeans migrating from the South Caucusus and/or eastern Anatolia to a secondary Urheimat on the steppe.
		The Maykop culture was well-situated to exploit the trading possibilities of the central Ukraine area.

	Altai Hypothesis
		Similarities of European languages with the languages of India were noted throughout the eighteenth century, though it is towards the end of the century that the hypothesis is first advanced that the similarities should be explained by the concept of a single common parent language.
		The cognate languages of the Anatolian group are found in Anatolia.
		There seems to be a rough correspondence between Indo-European as the language family of the steppe, Ural-Altaic as the family of the deserts south of the steppe, and Finno-Ugric as the language found in the tundra north of the steppes.

	The Paleolithic Indo-Europeans
		The Anatolian version of the hypothesis -- which suggested that the Hittites were simply the people who stayed behind when their cousins brought agriculture to Europe-- seemed particularly tidy.
		The most extreme changes occur when two different language communities merge entirely, producing what is called a creole -- a simplified form of one of the two languages, modified by a significant infusion of vocabulary and even some elements of grammar and pronunciation from the other.
		The operative factor seems to be that languages which are spoken by a stable community and have little outside contact change very slowly, while languages whose speakers migrate and encounter other languages change a great deal more quickly.

	Indo-European languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		According to the Kurgan hypothesis, early PIE was spoken in the chalcolithic steppe cultures of the 5th millennium BC between the Black Sea and the Volga.
		Anatolian languages — earliest attested branch, from the 18th century BC; extinct, most notable was the language of the Hittites.
		Colin Renfrew in 1987 suggested that the spread of Indo-European was associated with the Neolithic revolution, spreading peacefully into Europe from Asia Minor from around 7000 BC with the advance of farming (wave of advance).
