THE HORSE THE WHEEL AND LANGUAGE - DAVID W ANTH...

"If you want to learn about the early origins of English and related languages  and of many of
our familiar customs such as feasting on holidays and exchanging gifts  this book provides a
lively and richly informed introduction. Along the way you will learn when and why horses were
domesticated  when people first rode horseback  and when and why swift chariots changed the
nature of warfare." --Peter S. Wells  author of The Battle that Stopped Rome "A very
significant contribution to the field. This book attempts to resolve the longstanding problem
of Indo-European origins by providing an examination of the most relevant linguistic issues and
a thorough review of the archaeological evidence. I know of no study of the Indo-European
homeland that competes with it." --J. P. Mallory  Queen's University  Belfast
