Unless I'm missing something, that means two different studies going at the problem from different directions, are placing proto-semetic people in different places. Either they went on walkabout, or someone needs to reconcile these. | |

That puts the Arabs' (and Jews') ancestors there at least at the beginning of the Bronze Age. | |
