I think that
was about 10k to 15k BP. I don't have the the original
doc's to prove on way or the other as I read this third hand.
I do know it was historical fiction, but the facts seem reasonable
in context. Piers Anthony was the writer.
Seriously???? Will you cite Jean Auel next? By training, I am an historical linguist specializing
in Indo-European
languages, with additional studies in Algonquian, Siouan, and Kartvelian
linguistics. I thought we were having a real discussion of real data on
(off) the topic.
Well do you have any internet links of the subject,
that does not require a subscription. Indo-Eupropean is
what physical land areas discussed.
I admire Piers Anthony's facility with language,
but he is entertainment
rather than academics.
Still it is better than, caveman still attacking dinosaurs as most of the
media still have you believing.
What I would like to read about is more, pre-history
acted out as people lived back then, as the social factor
played a big part in life, say compared to day where the
the social life is about who has the latest TV or Computer.
