[QUOTE]Originally posted by Apocalypse: [QB] Djehuti wrote [QUOTE]Lastly, some aspects to Bernal's claims was in fact inaccurate, for example some of his linguistic claims that Indo-European is derived from Semitic etc. All this did was give the Eurocentrics the sorry excuse to say therefore Bernal's entire thesis was inaccurate.[/QUOTE]Bernal does see certain linguistic correspondence between Indo European and Afroasiatic. Ehret also sees such a correspondence. Bernal believes that the lithic culture originating in the nile valley (he specifically mentions Mushabian) and the Natufian culture of the Levant contributed to the development of Proto Indo European. Bernal does not put the case for this linkage forward in a dogmatic manner but tentatively. The sanctity of the IE language is non negotiable to Eurocentrists. Challenges to this sacred cow is just as unacceptable as saying that their civilization derived from elsewhere; or that modern day Europeans are a hybrid of Africans, Asians, and paleolithic native hunter-gatherers. Bernal's work is dismissed, not because of any sloppiness in his thinking, but precisely because it is so well researched; and because it presents such nightmarish :) scenarios of the roots of european people. Kieta's work is of course brilliant. That is beyond dispute. [/QB][/QUOTE]
