Episode 6 The Rise of the Indo-Europeans

In this podcast we finish off the Stone Age and discuss the Rise of the Indo-Europeans. The Indo-Europeans are the language family tree of which most European and some Asian languages come from. They seem to have either come into Europe or evolved into the Indo-Europeans right at the end of the Neolithic, beginning of the Chalcolithic and Bronze Age, depending on which theory you hold. In this episode we discuss some of the best and worst theories for Indo-European origins.
