In 2015, after the publication of the monograph by the French archaeologist Jean-Paul Demoule Mais où sont passés les Indo-Européens? : Le mythe d'origine de l'Occident invited to represent the linguists' position on Indo-European theory in the French popular science journal La Recherche .

1 For example, Andrew Byrd says in his review: “Garnier has done an admirably thorough job of analyzing Latin verb morphology and has successfully convinced me that there is a vast archaic legacy in Latin that in no way reflects the doctrine of the Founders of the Indo-European discipline and according to which Latin is presented as an innovative language '. "(" G [arnier] has done an admirably thorough job in his analysis of the Latin verbal system and has successfully convinced me that' (i) lya en latin tout un vaste héritage fort archaïque que ne reflète pas du tout la doctrine reçue, telle qu'elle fut professée par les fondateurs de la discipline indo-européenne, et où l'on tient le latin pour une langue innovante '”)
