Phylogeography puts the Indo-European homeland in Anatolia
node
Bouckaert and colleagues extended the Bayesian approach by modelling the geographic spread of the family as a diffusion process on the tree, and reported strongest support for an origin in Anatolia with expansion associated with agriculture. The paper drew sustained criticism from comparative linguists and archaeologists over its cognate data, its treatment of extinct languages, the geographic model's indifference to terrain and migration corridors, and the omission of the reconstructed wheeled-vehicle vocabulary that constrains the proto-language's date.
A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.

- Evidence
- Supports the reported phylogeographic inference of an Anatolian origin for Indo-European, and is cited here together with the criticism it attracted rather than as a settled result. V55 verification basis: this session had no access to any source — WebFetch was egress-blocked for every host attempted and the WebSearch budget was exhausted before authoring — so the cited work was not retrieved, and no page, volume or figure quoted from it was re-checked. Volume number from standing knowledge; page range omitted rather than guessed.
