Fowler OutSpoken Talk
Tua Pittman on Traditional Sea Voyaging and Navigation
Saturday, April 30, 1:30 pm
The image of mounted nomad warriors from the steppe lands of Russia bringing the Proto-Indo-European language to Europe has been displaced in recent years by new models; the early spread of farming from Anatolia became a preferred explanation for language replacement. Recent work on ancient DNA has, however, brought the steppe theory back into prominence.
