You be trippin yo. Why? It's easy enough to show the evolution or changes in language made by humans over time, both in the language itself and in the meanings and changes in words. Understanding evolution, after all, requires a mind able to think at at least the junior high school level, which may be too advanced for the creationism religious simpletons. === The "evolution" of a language however is entirely different than the evolution of a species. In the case of the latter, the species evolves because less fit members have less success procreating themselves and vice versa. Language of course does not procreate, and therefore can not evolve in a Darwinian sense. Quod erat demonstrandum. It is important that the brain get enough oxygen 24 hours a day. |
