This paper defends the 'Kurgan hypothesis,' the uniqueness of the epic heroic poetry of Indo-Europeans, and the uniqueness of Western civilization generally. The term 'uniqueness' is defined and associated with cultural creativity rather than with global economic and military dominance only. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
