Tower of Babel.

blah, blah, blah....Invention is the mother of necessity.

All of a sudden because they could talk about it...longer arrows came to be?? or sharper arrows came to be??

Just love these folks...They can say anything they want....AND GET MORE GRANT MONEY!!!!

That is funny.. When I was in college taking an anthropology class, the professor said no way lanquages developed from a single language..

[mad_as_he$$]

Of course they did. It was spoken by the Ancients.

Blah blah blah may ... more blah blah blah could. Blah blah blah blah blah blah might ...blah blah blah exact timeline debated.

Nice map graphic. It almost adds authority. And yet, no one can not state with certainty how LATIN is actually pronounced. This are needs more taxpayer money to study.

There are some who also believe that in Eternity, the Redeemed will all speak Hebrew, i.e., God’s language. FWIW

[pyx]

LOL !

[ridesthemiles]

Next thing, CNN—ABC—NBC—CBS all will be telling us that Barry’s ancestors werethe start of ‘language’.

Well, hell. Can't we go to LATVIA and ask?

They still have not “proven” that man came from the African continent, just pure conjecture. Remember “Lucy”? These so called experts, as one freeper pointed out need more grant money so they come up with the latest whack-a-doo theory and further their career by a few more years. I choose to believe in the Word of God and not some whatever professor in line for some tribute or money.

[Uncle Miltie]

When the government asks me my race, I say “African American”, because after all, it is only a matter of when my ancestors left Africa.

Nah... everyone knows algore invented language.

[bunkerhill7]

We are all Egyptians.

[Niuhuru]

More Pan-Africanism here I see.

[Niuhuru]

What a life to live. I’m tempted to go along and then start suggesting my own insane ideas and get myself some grant money.

[Chode]

let's see...if you believe we all came from africa, what is the great astonishment that the root language might be from there??? duh

[bitterohiogunclinger]

I find it ironically amusing that anyone would proffer the idea that anything “evolved” out of Africa when the entire continent is still mired in the 14th century.
