The theory of Early Kuduk Migration was met with some controversy and debate within the archaeological community when it was first introduced. However, as more research and evidence has been presented in support of the theory, it has gained widespread acceptance among archaeologists as the prevailing explanation for the ancient Kuduk people's movements. The majority of the evidence in favor of the migration theory comes from archaeological sources, including artifacts, structures, and other physical remains. These remains provide clues about the way of life, technology, and movements of the ancient Kuduk people, which support the theory of early migration.
Evidence in favor of the migration mostly comes from archaeological sources. The works of Tegu Yeva (1948 and 1952) have acted as the foundation for the hypothesis since its inception, and the research of Alan Ghoa (1983, 1986, and 1990) which solidified the theory’s status as the accepted status quo. ▼

Yeva’s first archaeological collection, ''The Way of Life'' (1948), explores concepts of archaeology with reference to the Early Kuduk Peoples. Although the book does not directly address the theory of the Early Kuduk Migrations, the text introduces it in a positive light. ''The Way of Life'' was considered quite controversial and harshly debated over in the archaeological community. It wouldn’t be until 1952 that Yeva would publish her second book, ''The Theory of Early Migration'', which directly addresses the topic. She provides her own research, as well as research and work from peers such as Dai Yamáat, Chatatunga Tumbinai, and Máa Kotoa, that argue in favor of the Early Migration theory.
Archaeologists point to the similarities in the material culture, such as pottery, tools, and other artifacts, across different Kuduk settlements to suggest that the ancient Kuduk people shared a common origin and culture. Other evidence such as similarities in architectural styles, the layout of buildings, and the construction techniques used have also been observed across different Kuduk settlements. This suggests that the ancient Kuduk people had a shared heritage and that they migrated from one location to another. The discovery of ancient trade routes and the presence of foreign artifacts in Kuduk settlements support the theory of migration. This suggests that the ancient Kuduk people had contact with other cultures and regions, and that they may have migrated to new settlements in search of resources or to establish trade connections.
All these pieces of evidence combined with Tegu Yeva and Alan Ghoa's research provide a strong argument for the theory of Early Kuduk Migration. It's important to note that despite the evidence provided, the theory is not universally accepted and alternative theories have been proposed to explain the ancient Kuduk people's movements. However, the majority of archaeologist are in agreement and accept that the theory is the most likely explanation based on the available evidence.
The Early Kuduk Migration theory proposes that the ancient Kuduk people migrated from a specific location at a specific time in history. However, the theory has been subject to criticism due to the lack of direct evidence, such as written records or oral traditions, that would confirm the movement of the ancient Kuduk people. Additionally, there is an inconsistent correlation between the expected pathway of the migration and the spread of Kuduk's language.
Some of the main criticisms of the theory include the lack of direct evidence for the migration, such as written records or oral traditions, that would confirm the movement of the ancient Kuduk people. This is considered as a weak point for the theory as it relies heavily on archaeological evidence and inferences. Linguistic endeavors to connect the migrations with the spread of Kuduk's early language have also resulted in incongruent pathways and inconclusive results.
Additionally, some critics, such as archaeologist Aguchu Yegu, argue that the similarities in material culture and architecture across different Kuduk settlements could be easily explained with cultural diffusion rather than migration. Cultural diffusion is a process by which cultural traits, such as artifacts, practices, and ideas, spread from one society to another. Therefore, the similarities found in different Kuduk settlements could be explained by the spread of cultural traits rather than by physical migration. This alternate theory, however, fails to properly explain the genetic similarity between people along the outlined pathway of the Kuduk Migration Theory, which has caused some criticism toward this theory as well.
