Aryans. The Grieco - Latins, Celts, Teutons and Slavs all belonged to the great Aryan, or indo-european branch of the Caucasian race, to which the Hindoos, Medes and Persians also belonged. The home of the prehistoric Aryans - the ancestors of all the indo-european nations - was in Central Asia, in the region of the ancient Bactria, the modern Balk, in Southern Turkestan. The Aryan migration westward into Europe occurred in prehistoric times, probably as far back as three thousand years before Christ.
