Their Story

/ J. P. Mallory.

In this compelling account, Mallory explores ancient migrations,
linguistics, and archaeology, applying cutting-edge genetic research to
untangle the key arguments with wit and verve. He addresses how the
controversial idea of a single, shared homeland has been viewed by
scientists, archaeologists, and linguists across the past century and
reconsiders how, in the case of the Nazis and more recent nationalist
movements, they have been manipulated for political advantage. The author
goes on to analyze the linguistic trail linking current populations to the
Indo-Europeans, looking at Sanskrit, Greek, Latin, and more, as he traces
linguistic origins across multiple peoples and cultures, bringing the most
up-to-date phylogenetic research to bear on this story. Ultimately this
important volume offers the most conclusive and nuanced understanding of an
oft-misrepresented and misunderstood topic.
