Current focus: The reconstructed vocabulary lets Jiang infer four traits of the Proto-Indo-Europeans: wheels, dairy consumption, relatively few agricultural terms, and horse domestication. Most connected source readings: **How the Yamnaya Made War, Money, and the West**; **The Civilization That Chose Not To Make War**. Nearby topic cluster: Lactose Tolerance, Milk, Pastoralism, Proto Indo European, Wheel. ## Extracted Topic Notes - evidence: The second steppe innovation is dairy and lactose tolerance, which Jiang treats as a biological-economic change that made milk usable as food.
