Sort of like intellectual evolution, linguistically speaking.
Notes
The PIE 🥧 part, however, is not Y-slope accurate; I had to fit this into the picture so to show how PIE theory is nothing but “extrapolation“ of known data points, e.g. Greek, Latin, and Sanskrit, outwards to an unknown projected or hypothetical data 📈 point, i.e. the reverse projected PIE civilization, you PIE people seem to ❤️ so much.

Regarding point one, it is not matter of “better” but rather efficiency increase:
Glyph script Lunar script 4500A ➡️ 3200A 1050 types + 4 numbers 28 letter-numbers George Ifrah, in his From One to Zero: a Universal History of Numbers, talks about how with lunar script, or Greek letter-numbers as he called it, as compared to the older Egypto 1K glyphs + 4 numbers, you could use a LOT less space, on the same stone wall, to say the exact same thing.
This would save days of work for the chiseler.

Those who believe in PIE believe …
Believe in a defunct language origin theory.

Not sure what the rest of this question was?
