The Horse, the Wheel, and Language: How Bronze-Age Riders from the Eurasian Steppes Shaped the Modern World

The Horse, The Wheel, And Language is a groundbreaking book that uncovers the mysteries of the early speakers of Proto-Indo-European, the ancient mother tongue that has influenced half the world's population.

This comprehensive guide reveals how these prehistoric peoples domesticated horses and utilized the wheel to spread language and transform civilization.

By linking archaeological remains with language development, David Anthony identifies the original speakers of Proto-Indo-European as the prehistoric peoples of central Eurasia's steppe grasslands.

He also sheds light on their innovative use of the ox wagon, horseback riding, and warrior's chariot, which turned the Eurasian steppes into a thriving transcontinental corridor of communication, commerce, and cultural exchange.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in linguistics, archaeology, or the history of civilization.
