Well, this is a bit of a claim which may or may not be true.  Basque is
almost certainly the survival of the Neolithic substrate present when the
Indo-Europeans came romping in.  Linguists have been arguing about it for
years and still are doing this.

But it seems certain to be a true survivor, in any event.  SOMEONE beat out
the Beaker People, and it seems to have been the Basques.
