    Minor Asia+Near East, the only blalanced hypothesis that included archaeology, anthropology and genetic evidence. Kurganic one doesn't hold the water at all

    What aspects of the Kurgan hypothesis do you find flawed?

    Proto-Europeans not Proto-Indo-Europeans

    Why does everyone want to include "Indo" in everything to give some satisfaction to Indo-Europeans maybe?

    First, there's no archaeological evidence that Steppe related cultures of 4-3 millenium BC moved in a westerly direction further than lower Danube area. Hypothesis that all of the single grave traditions in Europe were of Steppe origin is debunked many years ago, since 1960's. Than, North-Pontic region itself was object of invasions for all time, even so-called genetic "Steppe admixture" was brought there from south Caucasus, also there're invasions of Maykop, Neolithic and Corded cultures into steppe, so IE language appeared there exactly with some of them, not otherwise. Also, North Pontic populations were of very specific mix of Mesolithic ans Neolithic lines like these ones,


    and unparalleled in the late true IE populations

    Before they descended from the Pleiades, the earth was inhabited by Wogs, Niggs and Mongols, who thought they were gods.

    Either in Iran or the Pontic-Caspian steppe, all other theories are not relevant and debatable anymore.

    Regardless of where Early PIE originated, it is certain that Late PIE who would later give birth to all of the known and fully differentiated modern and ancient Indo-European branches - with the possible exception of Anatolian - spread from the steppes as posited by the Kurgan hypothesis.
