My goal is to create a simple, digestible overview that explains: 1. How these migrations occurred; 2. Where the various archaeological, linguistic, and tribal names come from; and 3. How they shaped the modern world we live in today In Part 4, we conclude our series by explore the branches of the Proto-Indo-Europeans that migrated south into Anatolia The Middle East and India. Part 1 covered Northern and Western Europe, following the chronicles of the Celtic and Germanic peoples. Part 2 explored the branches that gave rise to the Hellenic, Italic, Balkan, and Balto-Slavic peoples of the Mediterranean and Eastern Europe. Part 3 covered the branches that remained in the vast and ever-changing Eurasian Steppe.
