It took a medical college to confirm what Genesis has told us for 6000 years. Horrors! Does God know about this?
From what I remember reading about the great apes' possibiity of speaking, they couldn't speak even if they had the proper brain-wiring. The reason lies in the area of the esophegus(sp?). There is a bone or some process that doesn't move as the ape grows older. The same thing is true of human babies, except that the bone or whatever does move up or down, I've forgotten which. It moves at a very young age, thus babies can begin picking up language at a very early age.
Is there a doctor/anatomist/anthropologist out there who can either say I'm right or wrong?
