Turkic Substrate in English and other Germanic languages

[Smaug]

From a scientific point of view, of course.

Sure, because Britain was inhabited by Turkic tribes by the time the Anglo-Saxons arrived...

It's more likely the Turks absorbed IE words as they moved West and mixed with Iranic peoples than the other way around.

Wrong thread.

That is not about Turkic substratum in English, but about Turkic substratum in Proto-Germanic. Any pre-IE substratum that might have existed in the Germanic urheimat was probably Finno-Ugric.

Yep, not specifically Afro-Asiatic but "Agricultural substrata from eastern Mediterranean area". Have a look at this

complementary to linguistic evidence, your source also states "linguistic evidence is in corroboration with some intepretations of the genetic prehistory of Europe in relation to the arrival of agriculture. ... The spread of agriculture into Europe has further been linked to the microsatellite variance of the male DNA marker haplogroup R1b1b2 (Balaresque et al. 2010). ... The distribution of haplogroup R1b1b2 has thus become geographically and linguistically compatible with the Agricultural Substrate Hypothesis that is evident for Greek as well as Germanic." (page 256)

and now I recommend you to read this about Proto-Turkic connection with the haplogroup R1b:
