This book takes on the profound task of tracing the history of the Indo-European race, a linguistic family that includes most of the languages spoken in Europe and many in Asia. The author argues that the Indo-European peoples originated in the Hindu Kush mountains, then migrated and split off into different language groups. The author's premise is centered on linguistics but draws on evidence from law, history, and archaeology to fill in the gaps in our knowledge. Through this, the author paints a picture of a society unlike our own: one organized by herds rather than agriculture, lacking towns, writing, and metallurgy, and with a strikingly different structure of family and governance.
