Excerpt from The Story of the Pennsylvania Germans: Embracing an Account of Their Origin, Their History, and Their Dialect
It is not known where the original home of the Indo - Europeans was. A vast amount of literature has been produced on this subject by ethnologists, and other investigators, with varying Views, only to leave the question of man's birthplace in dispute and doubt. The weight of the more recent, and best evidence on the subject seems to locate his original habitat, at some point, somewhere on the southern slope of the vast chain of mountains which extend in an almost unbroken line from the northern coast of Spain east ward to the Himalayas, and from our present knowl edge the western rather than the eastern extremity of this chain, is that which offers the higher probability of having been the cradle of the species.
