| | It is presumed that advance parties of Germans could also have been responsible for the wave of Indo-European peoples called the Latini, who penetrated Italy around this time. | | | These western European Celts were later to be overrun by the descendants of other Indo-European tribes who had invaded Italy and had become the Romans. | | | The Greek mainland, which was occupied by original Old European Mediterranean types, fell before an invasion of Indo-Europeans called the Mycenae - this tribe were the first to establish the basis upon which the classical Grecian age was to built, albeit only after yet another wave of Nordic invaders. |

| | The Paleolithic Continuity Theory on Indo-European Origins |
| | Two major current theories suggest a late invasion from East Europe in the Bronze Age or a demic dispersion from Anatolia as consequence of early Neolithic civilization. | | | There is, however, no archaeological evidence of invasions, European Neolithic is essentially a local development, and the latest outcome of genetic research demonstrates that 80% of European genetic stock goes back to Paleolithic. | | | In addition, both archaeologists and linguists of the Uralic area now concur on a Paleolithic origin of Uralic people and languages in Eurasia. |
