The corpus of recorded language-spread situations in history is extremely large, and supports this perspective strongly (discussed to some degree in Bellwood 2001b, 2003). There are no recorded situations of language shift, whether through elite dominance or any other mechanism, that could conceivably explain such large-scale dispersals in the absence of any substantial factor of population movement. Such outward flows from agricultural heartland areas will have tended to continue as long as demographic gradients falling off centrifugally were maintained, even though ● ● ● antecedent populations, whether hunter–gatherers or other preceding groups of less numerous/less aggressive farmers, can always be expected to have given rise to at least some substratum effects.
