West

That said about vast migrations, these are more unlikely to have touched the further west in Europe you go, that's why there are more intact Ur-opean/mesolithic/neolithic areas in the isolated Land's Ends of Europe or in Ireland, Wales or Northern Spain than anywhere else.

What language they spoke is unknown, the only example is Basque but it would be very far fetched to suppose that the language was the same up and down the Atlantic. What would not be far fetched would be to suppose that they had very ancient elements in common, since people in the Paleolithic/mesolithic moved northwards following the herds just after the glaciers melted and their tongues must have evolved into dialects after the centuries.

Many researchers also support the view of a paleolithic origin of basque as it is so unrelated to anything and that part of the world has always been so remote since the time of the cave painters.
