J. P. Mallory

J. P. Mallory was an influential British archaeologist and scholar specializing in ancient European civilizations and prehistoric languages. He is best known for developing the "Aryan" hypothesis, suggesting that a prehistoric European-speaking people spread their language and culture across large parts of Eurasia. Mallory's work often involved analyzing ancient remains, artifacts, and linguistic evidence to understand human origins and migration patterns. His research has significantly shaped theories about European prehistory, though some ideas are debated within the scholarly community. Overall, Mallory's contributions helped deepen our understanding of early European history and prehistoric peoples.
