The Historylogy Podcast · Oct 29, 2025 · 4m

One ancient language transformed our world. This is its story.

At the end of the last ice age, a language was born between Europe and Asia. This tongue, which we call Proto-Indo-European, exploded outwards until its offspring were spoken from Scotland to China. Today Indo-European languages are spoken by nearly half of humanity. How did this happen?

Laura Spinney set out to answer that question, retracing an odyssey across continents and millennia.
