Most Americans do not realize that the tradition of Halloween comes from Ireland and
Scotland. It originated from Celts who lived in what is now France and the British Isles
over 2000 years ago. A harvest festival was celebrated on October 31st and it also markedthe beginning of the long, dark, cold winter. People then believed that the spirits of the
dead walked upon the earth in the darkness so great fires were built on the hills to protect
the people from bad spirits. Turnips were hollowed out and put a candle inside. When
people went outside, they carried them to protect themselves from evil spirits. When the
settlers came to America, they brought this custom with them. But they did not have
turnips, so they used pumpkins instead. Now, children especially look forward to
Halloween and the carving of pumpkins. As Halloween approaches, jack-o’-lanterns pop up
on doorsteps everywhere.

Linguists subscribe to the belief that the languages of about one-third of the human
race all developed from one Indo-European language. But who were the speakers of this
ancient language? Linguistic detective work offers some clues: you can deduce a people’s
history from the words they use. Study of some fifty ancient vocabularies has led to a
reconstruction of the lifestyle of the first Indo-Europeans, a vanished people. From the
words they used, it seems likely that they lived a half-settled, half-nomadic existence.
They worshipped gods who are clear ancestors of Indian, Mediterranean, and Celtic deities.
However, exactly who the original Indo-Europeans were and when they lived remain a
hotly debated mystery. According to an early theory, they lived in Mesopotamia, but this
idea was exploded by nineteenth-century archaeology. Today, some argue for the Krugan
culture of the Russian steppes, others for the farming culture of the Danube valley. The
most widely accepted theory locates the Indo-Europeans in a cold, northern climate where
common words for snow and wolf were important. None of these prehistoric languages had
a word for the sea. From this, and from our knowledge of nature, it is clear that the
Indo-Europeans must have lived somewhere in northern central Europe.
What is this passage mainly about?
The intellectual climate of the Indo-Europeans
A study of prehistoric lifestyles
