The Horse, the Wheel, and Language
From $35.00 USD
David Anthony reconstructs the Indo-European steppe cultures that preceded and surrounded the Scythians, using linguistics, genetics, and archaeology to trace how the first horse riders from the Pontic steppe spread across Eurasia. The Scythians appear as the culmination of a long tradition of mounted steppe peoples. A dense but rewarding argument about how ancient population movements shaped modern languages and cultures.
