Indo-European migrations - Tocharians into China (Wikipedia map)

.

In this series, JK explores the full story of the Proto-Indo-European migrations — from the Yamnaya Steppe nomads of prehistory, through the ancient and medieval periods, all the way to the present day. The goal here 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, the series concludes by exploring the branches of the Proto-Indo-Europeans who 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.
