Reseña del libro "Indo-European and Its Speakers: A search into Indo-European and into the Historical (Cultural, Biological, Geographical) Anthropology of its Speakers (en Inglés)"
This book, Indo-European And Its Speakers, is about some old European and Middle Eastern extant words, not about the artificial "Proto-Indo-European language" [PIE], or a Dictionary of its roots, or the history of researches and theories the geographically defined Indo-European languages. It is a diary of original, sporadic excursions, researches, and critiques in the field of postmegalithic Proto-European cultural anthropology and, most emphatically, an empirical archeology of some European and Mideastern words. By etymologies and analyses, it shows that the source of various languages (including Anglo-Saxon, Etruscan, Eblaite, and Basque) is Archaic Greek, its epicenter being the Pre-Semitic Levant. The speakers were or are the Caucasians who grew in *Proto-Europe, by the Euphrates, the Jordan, the Nile, the Tarim, the Hindus, the Ebro, the Danube (Istros), the Thames, and the Tiber rivers. The primordial "Greeks" created their own language, the alphabetical writing of their language, grain agriculture, viticulture, and, once in the Aegean region or, so to speak, in the shadow of Mount Olympus, the first Humanistic ["Age of Men" or Intellectualistic] Civilization of world history. This book, which is incidentally an auto-biography of a mind at work, is for deliberately slow and studious readers who believe that "nihil humani mihi alienum est" (nothing human is foreign to me). Oh, that sounds so scholarly! No, no... It is for students and for people who, having no eternal future in view, stretch their lives into the long past - antiquarians, archaeologists, and philologians! Nevertheless, it calls for new researches and lays the basis for a continued exploration, through languages, of the Pre-Semitic history of the Fertile Crescent and the whole Middle East, for archaeology in Magna Graecia, and for a new anthropogony (genealogy of humans).
