The Yamnaya wielded technologies of wheeled carts and horses, to spread out in explosively fast migrations. These were the spreaders of Proto-Indo-European languages.

The Yamnaya wielded technologies of wheeled carts and horses, to spread out in explosively fast migrations. The Yamnaya's migration trail leaves behind first finds of:   ** sharp metal tools and weapons   ** four wheeled carts   ** Indo-European languages   ** kurgan burials   ** graphical depictions of warriers   ** milk-heavy diets and lactose tolerance   ** low-quality ceramics   ** horse bits and other equestrian gear   ** tall horse-riding people
