Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2016
This book is not for the faint of heart. It is solid, meaty, full of technical details a trained linguist can really sink their teeth into. Brian Stubbs has toiled for decades as one of the foremost Uto-Aztecan linguists on the planet. Many thought his highly-acclaimed 2011 Uto-Aztecan: A Comparative Vocabulary would be his magnum opus. Turns out it was only Stubbs' warm-up act. All these years he has been patiently gathering massive data that shows profound Semitic and Egyptian influences in the language family spoken by Utes and Shoshoni on the north, Nahua on the south, and Hopi in between. This is a revolutionary, paradigm-changing book. Native American cultures did not live for millennia in splendid isolation between the impassable Atlantic and impenetrable Pacific. Cultural contact with the Old World pre-dated the Norse in Newfoundland as Michael Coe is now suggesting with Angkor Wat/Maya correlations. Brian Stubbs deserves to be read carefully. I highly recommend this book for serious students of native American cultures.
