Beschreibung
The book explores a famous, unresolved, historical problem: How is it that all the languages of Europe and parts of Asia belong to a single family of Indo-European languages? The Indo-Europeans: Archaeology, Language, Race, and the Search for the Origins of the West by Jean-Paul Demoule offers a survey of the historiography of the Indo-European debate across several centuries and disciplines and poses a devastating challenge to the Indo-European origin story at its roots.
