Focusing on the interplay between historical linguistics and the development of Northwestern European peoples, this book integrates insights from history, archaeology, and human evolutionary genetics. It emphasizes the significance of the Germanic languages, framing their evolution as a reflection of the lives and movements of their speakers, thereby restoring their crucial role in understanding the region's cultural and linguistic heritage.
