I have yet to see anyone adequately address the amazing correspondence between the East/West-satem/centum split in the Indo-European languages and the East/West-R1a/R1b split in y-haplogroup R.
The presence of Indo-European, kurgan-style burial mounds in Western Europe, in places where there is little or no R1a, also goes unexplained. Take, for examples, the grave hill, or kurgan, of the Hochdorf Chieftain in the heart of R1b country near Stuttgart, Germany, and the Sabini burial mound in largely R1b Central Italy, complete with chariot.
There are other examples that could be cited.
