Book Description

Publication Date: 6 Aug 1998 | Series: Pimlico
New edition of a classic previously published since 1987 by Penguin. Renfrew considers questions of language origins and what they imply about ethnic affiliation. He re-examines the problem of the spread of Indo-European languages and argues that early forms of these were spoken thousands of years earlier than we had previously assumed.

4.0 out of 5 stars historian 19 July 2007
By Arthur W. John - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
This is an excellent treatment of the origins of the Indo-Europeans and together with Cavalli-Sforza's "Genes,Peoples and Languages" provides where from and at what time period the ancesters of the Europeans originated. Renfrew's only inaccuracy is in infering that at the time of the arrival of the first agriculturalists to the Balkans a Greek association be made. Cavalli-Sforza puts forward a more factual and convincing identifcaton of the language of Albania being the oldest in Europe. These two books present when examined together the most convincing arguments on the topic in particular since they base there presentations on either radio-carbon dating in the case of agriculture or on genes in the case of dating who are the oldest people of Europe.
