Horse Domestication Follow Up and William Jones

The scope of this episode shifted due to a some questions I got in relation to last week's episode. So the first half of this episode ended up being a follow up on last week's. As for our coverage of Proto-Indo European I just decided to limit it for this week to the origins of the theory by talking about the popular attribution of it and linguistic study to William Jones.
