One piece of evidence, standing alone, i would call peculiar and would want to know what prompted the similarities. Just as i find it odd that many of the beliefs in Hindu spirituality have striking parallels in Native American beliefs (i.e., the existence of the third eye and a loose associated belief in reincarnation.) When evidence begins to accumulate in favor of a world wide connection, it's hard to ignore it or call it coincidental. The Olmec were unquestionably a black race. I've seen the monoliths and there is just no interpreting them any other way. The Mayans definitely had a concept of flying machines. I've seen them in the hieroglyphs at the temples. The Biblical accounts, as recorded by a nomadic tribe make no mention of a language barrier, although by all counts of reason they were travelers in a foreign land. I don't see any real reason to discount the idea that there was once a common language base, even if the common language was simply the dominant one in the manner that English is used today.
Of course, it would more cohesively make sense if there had been, in fact, a single cradle of civilization, since it's doubtful each individual in that initial scenario would get the idea to create a separate language before going his or her separate way. I'm a little bit radical about the cradle of civilization bit... i believe there could have been more than just one, but we'll save that for another discussion.
