Geographical Development of European Languages

By Grover S. Krantz

This work presents a natural approach to reconstructing the geography of prehistoric languages in Europe. Ethnic movements are described as predictable results of just a few cultural innovations such as the origin of agriculture, empire building, and the mold-board plow - all fitted to the changing environment. All recent European language distributions are shown to follow automatically from these describable causes, and no historical events or personalities need to be invoked to explain any of them.
