An Anatolian homeland only explains some of the evidence. The Anatolian Hypothesis is pretty bullshit, though. There's no linguistic evidence for it. Its supporters are mostly archaeologists who, for the most part, know nothing of linguistics and indeed in some cases entirely reject comparative lin...

Well, I'm not a Philosophy major, and all I've read on Wittgenstein are two Wikipedia pages, so yeah. Figures I wouldn't get it right.

Sal, I think you're being uncharitable with these claims of trolling, but Kath, I also think you're being kind of obtuse?
