Fig. 13. — A Stage-Diagram giving a tentative reconstruction of the distribution 

 of European languages at various epochs. Black areas are the Primi- 

 tive (marginal) ' K' Aryan languages. It is suggested that the early- 

 Mediterranean Race spoke Hamitic, and that the early Alpines spoke 

 languages akin to Basque, Abkasian (and Amerind ?). Aryan developed 

 near the Caspian Sea and spread out in waves. The outer ' ripple ' {K) was 

 akin to Gaelic ; the second (P) akin to Welsh. The latest type was the 

 Satem group.
