Book Description
Excerpt from The Wanderings of Plants and Animals From Their First Home That the animal and vegetable worlds - that is to say, the whole physiognomy of life, labour, and landscape in a country - may, in the course of centuries, be changed under the hand of Man is an experimental fact that, especially since the discovery of America, cannot be contradicted. During the, last three centuries - in a purely historical period, since the invention of printing, and in full view of the civilized world - the native animals and plants in newly discovered islands and in the colonized countries of the Western Hemisphere have been sup planted by those of europe, or by a flora and fauna collected from all parts of the globe. In St. Helena, for instance, the aboriginal wild vegetation has retreated to the mountains in the interior of the island, driven in by an advancing circle of novel plants which came over the ocean in the train of Europeans. In the pampas of Buenos Ayres, for miles together, we meet with scarcely one indigenous plant; they have all succumbed to the usurpation of plants introduced from Europe.

Cultivated Plants and Domesticated Animals in Their Migration from Asia to Europe

Book Description
New edition, prepared with a bio-bibliographical account of Hehn and a survay of the research into Indo-European prehistory by James P. Mallory. It was Hehn who for the first time combined the tools of comparative linguistics and the direct historical approach in order to discover the origins of domesticated animals and cultivated plants in the ancient world, tracing their diffusion from one culture to another. Hehn abandoned his contemporaries'often idealized and nationalistic image of the ancient Indo-Europeans, seeking instead to reconstruct early Indo-European society in agreement with the ethnological research of his day.
