Proto by Laura Spinney
How Infectious Diseases Made Modern Life
Proto traces the origins and spread of Proto-Indo-European, a language born after the last ice age near the Black Sea, and how its speakers dispersed across Eurasia. Combining linguistic, archaeological and genetic evidence, the book follows migrations and cultural encounters that gave rise to today’s largest language family and considers what that deep history reveals about language and human movement.
