Resource summary
Origin and Diffusion of Indo-European
Proto-Indo-European
existence cannot be proven
would have existed thousands of years before the invention of writing or recorded history
Nomadic Warrior Thesis
Marija Gimbutes
first speakers were the Kurgan people
homeland in the steppes near the border between present-day Russia and Kazakhstan
the Kurgans were warriors who invaded others
they forced people to speak their language
this common language evolved into Indo-European language family
Sedentary Farmer Thesis
Colin Renfrew
first speakers lived 2,000 years before the Kurgans
lived in eastern Anatolia, part of present-day Turkey
the speakers were peaceful people
they migrated to other places to farm
thus spreading their language to other places
this common language evolved into the Indo-European language family
Russell D. Gray supports this, but dates the first speakers at around 6700 B.C.
