Roughly half the world's population speaks languages derived from a shared linguistic source known as Proto-Indo-European. But who were the early speakers of this ancient mother tongue, and how did they manage to spread it around the globe? The Horse, the Wheel, and Language solves a puzzle that has vexed scholars for two centuries and recovers a magnificent and influential civilization from the past.

Great Insight, Well Performed

I’ll admit, this book is geared towards a specific audience, so it isn’t for everyone. As someone that loves archeology, ancient nomadic history, and the process of deeply proving a case, this is a fantastic read. His great efforts in research are clear.
The performance was very well done. When the author is digressing into a point he wants to emphasize, the speaker often shifts his tone slightly. I love this detail, as it makes clear what is pure evidence and information, and what is author perspective or interjection.
