When did humans first start to speak? How language evolved in Africa

[Diamond72]

It's more the fact that you reply to the smallest tidbit that anyone talks about with a strange amount of information that is not at all relevant to what anyone has said.

I would have to write a book if I replied to everything. I try to keep it short and concise. If you just give me one word in Genesis it could take a whole book just to explain that word.

 

[Diamond72]

that one language they all spoke disappeared.

Hebrew did not disappear. Our Bible is written in Hebrew.
Modern Hebrew and Ancient Hebrew are similar in many ways, but there are some differences between the two.

 

[AV1611VET]

Hebrew did not disappear.

That is correct.

Hebrew did not disappear.

But it didn't show up until after the Babel incident.

Prior to the Babel incident ...

Genesis 11:1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.

I like to think that "one language and one speech" is Jacobean English.

There are books in Heaven.

Revelation 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

IF those books are the 66 books of the King James Bible, which, on Earth, is God's seventh and final Translation,* then I submit that God speaks a heavenly language, and that that heavenly language is what we call "Jacobean English."

Psalm 12:6 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

Matthew 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

Deuteronomy 32:4a He is the Rock, his work is perfect:

1 Thessalonians 2:13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

What a refreshingly quirky reply.

 

[Hans Blaster]

Do you know what "evolving" means?

The whole thread is about the biological evolution of speech capabilities (See OP.) It is not about the less specific usage of evolution as "change with time". Pay attention to what you butt into.

 

[AV1611VET]

What a refreshingly quirky reply.

Glad you like it!

 

[AV1611VET]

Pay attention to what you butt into.

That was rich.

How about you pay attention to what I butt into with?

I did not butt in to say that the "pre-Babel humans didn't have speech".

 

[Hans Blaster]

Easy to solve. I easily run it through AI to correct any problems and make it more readable. Do you want it translated for a fifth-grade learning level or 8th-grade level? Or name a person and I can give the information to you from that perspective. My wife likes Celine.

Please just write your own stuff. (And can we leave the canadian crimes against music out of this?)

Either way people complain. I have not noticed any less complaints one way or the other.

 

[Diamond72]

The frontal lobe and temporal lobe evolved millions of years ago. So we have had the ability to process speech for millions of years. Of course, infidels with reprobate minds may lose some of that ability. Brain surgeons need to know what part of the brain they are working on to advise their patients what could be damaged or impaired.

Except that's the thing that leads me to believe you're a bot. You just go off on so many long winded tangents on things that have only the most tangential connection to the thread or even to the post you reply to.

 

[Diamond72]

The bots do a better job than people do.

 

[Warden_of_the_Storm]

No they don't. And please just stop replying to half of a comment I make. It makes you looks dishonest.

With all the interpretations of Genesis one could write several hundred or perhaps several thousand books on genesis.

 

[Diamond72]

There are already hundreds of thousands of books about Genesis Chapter one. John 21:25 "Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written."

And with all the contradictions among the hundreds of thousands I couldn't agree more.

 

[Hans Blaster]

The frontal lobe and temporal lobe evolved millions of years ago. So we have had the ability to process speech for millions of years.

The research cited in the OP disagrees with your position about speech. It claims only 70,000 years (instead of a couple hundred thousand).

Of course, infidels with reprobate minds may lose some of that ability.

Well that was unnecessary, now wasn't it. I know what you're talking about in this sentence and it is not appreciated. Knock it off.

Brain surgeons need to know what part of the brain they are working on to advise their patients what could be damaged or impaired.

And this is irrelevant to the discussion. Your posts don't need to be "enhanced" by chatbots, you just need to leave out the unnecessary and off topic content like the last two sentences of your post.

 

[Astrid]

I did not know that. Can you elaborate?

In simple general terms it just does not
resonate, as shown by that it has never
caught on.

 

[Diamond72]

The best way to find out would be the ice core samples. They have air bubbles so you can determine when the atmosphere was right for primates to evolve the way they did. Conditions were much more humid for the dinosaurs. Only Turtles and Alligators have survived. They both live a very long life and grow very big.

You missed a fascinating
revelation. Since having frontal
and temporal lobes = ability tolk, monkeys are able to talk,
This may well account for many of
the posts we see.
