Philology has always led to the truth. Oddly enough, the creation of the word, race, is tied to philology, but it had nothing to do with skin color, or physical characteristics at the beginning, only language. Thus, what was found by the study of language, long ago, has been proven correct via DNA. The Kurgan hypothesis seems to be proven correct, more and more, as with language, and its spread south, came civilization. It explains why Göbekli Tepe is older than the ancient cities in Mesopotamia and Egypt.

Ario I think you'll find, that it does. Language and early culture made it into Anatolia before the Fertile Crescent, and later, civilization came from that. It was the people who migrated south, into Anatolia, and then into the Fertile Crescent, from the Steppes, that brought language and culture from which civilization arose. There are historical books authored on Philology, that state the same thing, and DNA seems to prove it.
.
The same thing happened in Persia, which also made its way to the Fertile Crescent and the Indus Valley, as well as into China.
.
Civilization followed the spread of language and culture from the north.

Ario Go back much father, to the area around Samara, which is where language supposedly originates, with the Yamnaya ancestor's, the Samara culture, etc, and earlier. That is, supposedly, the root of all language, and the origins of the culture that came south.
.
When speaking of the Kurgans, that is a wide and general term that leads back to the ancients, such as the Samara and earlier. One would be better off to call it the Steppe theory, which doesn't call out a specific group.
.
The hypothesis is about tracing these very ancient cultures back to the beginning of language, and the societies that sprang from it. The mound builders, I believe, are much older than the ziggurat and pyramid builders, where the later constructions were recreations or representations of the mounds and mountains of the people of the Steppes, (from the Urals and Caucasus), which were the mountain ranges of the nomadic cattle herders.
.
Even though the Fertile Crescent was advanced as it was, the people from the north are credited with first using the horse, and inventing the wheel and chariots. The cultures of the Fertile Crescent feared them, and they were called "God's whip," in the Levant.
.
The ancient cultures in the Fertile Crescent would have never appeared, without the language and culture that they received from the north. Oddly enough, the four "civilizations," supposedly appeared at about the same time, in the Fertile Crescent, the Indus Valley, China, and in Peru.
.
Anyhow, stating this, a language and culture was needed to develop writing, and mathematics, etc, to build up and create the first four civilizations. The claim is, that after language and culture came into Mesopotamia, around the Ubaid period, the civilization, which sprang from it, spread back north to the original source of the language. However, Göbekli Tepe shows otherwise, and it is in the path of the southward migration of those coming into the Fertile Crescent from the north, and is much older.

Ario According to Philology and science, there was a time when early man had no language, nor was there any sort of society. Early man was nothing more than a beast, and a gatherer at best. That developed over many years, especially with Homo Sapiens, but the largest development that leads to civilization was supposedly on the Pontic Steppe.
.
The development of the language on the Steppe, was what supposedly led to the creation of farming and pastoral herding, leaving hunting and gathering behind, which came south. The cave paintings, in this area, of the Homo Sapiens hunting the Aurochs, supposedly show what lead to the creation of mixed-farming and the pastoral people.
