Marcel Otte

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Marcel Otte (born October 5, 1948) is a professor of Prehistory at the Université de Liège, Belgium. He is a specialist in Religion, Arts, Sociobiology, and the Upper Palaeolithic times of Europe and Central Asia.

Otte is one of the leading advocates of the Paleolithic Continuity Theory which states that Indo-European languages originated in Europe and have existed there since the Paleolithic period. He first advocated that theory in work published in 1994. He also claims that the Indo-European migration from the steppes into the heart of Europe dates from the same period.
