[QUOTE="DogmaHunter, post: 68475545, member: 346237"] Why do you ignore the rest of my post, where I explained these things? Again, try to answer this question... the answer will reveal why your question is invalid: What language existed one generation before the first spanish speaking individual? What language was spoken by the parents of the "first" spanish speaking individual? I have stated 6 times already that every individual ever born was of the same species as its parents. Off spring is 99.9999% (=arbitrary number to make the point clear) the same as its parents. The key lies in that 0.0001% - which represents the set of mutations that accumulate through the generations. Every new born has its own set of mutations. It's called "the mutation rate". The second generation is 99.998% similar to generation 0 (=the "reference" generation). Generation 3 is 99.9997% similar. Generation 4 is 99.9996% similar. Generation 5 is 99.9995% similar. Generation 6 is 99.9994% similar. ..... Generation 1000 is 99.8000% similar. You don't see any visible difference between generation X and X+1. But you DO see a visible difference between generation X and X+1000 Just like you don't hear a difference between generation X and X+1 in language. But hundreds of generations later, there is a clear difference. Go back in time and 300 years and read some english text. One can still call it "english", but already it sounds quite different. Grammar is different. Vocabulary is different. Certain words are unkown, other words aren't invented yet. Go back another 500 years. Can you still call it "english"? Hardly. Go back another 500 years. Can you now still call it "english"? Another 500 years: how about now? Now, did any of the people that lived through those 2000 years speak another language then their children? Or grandchildren? Yet, today they speak english, while nothing that can be called "english" existed 2000 years ago. Is it starting to sink in now, what it means to have [B]gradual[/B] change? [/QUOTE]
