Now considering that Americans are considered 'uncivilized' by most of the world, and Texans are considered uncivilized by the rest of Americans, (considering the rest of America considers Pork to be good barbeque which is just plain wrong and goes against the teachings of the bible.)

I used to go to a BBQ joint in Tuscaloosa that proudly displayed a picture of Bear Bryant eating a pulled pork sandwich. So there is proof positive that God eats pork barbecue.

Please research the types of meat we are supposed to eat, pork is not one of them, therefore, God prefers BEEF barbeque.

I've seen a picture of God himself eating a pulled pork sandwich. Therefore he does prefer, as do all right thinking and moral people, pork.

I found an interesting, but short snippet showing possible evidence of the progression of language out of africa over 100,000 years ago...
I wonder if the number of distinct phonemes correlates to the incorporation of more advanced linguistic/conceptual tools?
So that the more streamlined and elegant the communication is made
by progressive development, the fewer distinct phonemes it requires to articulate/express the same complexity...


http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1377150/Every-language-evolved-single-prehistoric-mother-tongue-spoken-Africa.html

Because you'd think it would be getting more complex over time not less...

Fascinating article regarding the probable place of the origination of spoken language.
I disagree with one conclusion though. The number of phonemes isn't necessarily indicative of the complexity.
A language could have 200+ phonemes (sounds) and each one is its own word. This would give the entire language something just over 200 words.
Another language could have only 40 or so phonemes but the language has evolved so that the phonemes are combined in a multitude of ways to give 100,000+ words. This is more complexity.
It's like mixing the 3 primary colors to obtain a nearly limitless palette when you are bored with just using your box of 64 crayolas.


Are you referring to my "conclusion"? Cos it's more idle thinking than a conclusion, but either way it's saying the same thing as you are, see the bolded.

When I say "Because you'd think it would be getting more complex over time not less..." I'm just pointing out how the face phoneme value becoming simpler could indicate the actual refinement of the language advancing, the correlation I was wondering about was of course an inverse relationship between the number of phonemes and the "incorporation of more advanced linguistic/conceptual tools".
Which is also the only way I can see, that you can interpret the article to make sense.
I'm leery to actually take the article too seriously, because it seems far to simple a way of quantifying a really complex thing like language.
But anyway, you actually seem to be agreeing with me, not disagreeing.

Pork is yet another good example of why one shouldn't let a book determine their relationship with God.
Pork is great... I have a holy experience every time I bite into a roast pork and gravy roll.

I invite you to come to anywhere in the great state of Alabama, except that blighted hellhole Auburn, and say such an outrageous thing. I'll send flowers to your funeral.

Pork is for barbecuing. Rubs and sauces are particularly helpful since they cover up the original taste of pork.

In Kansas, though, it seems you can barbecue just about anything.

Wait...what was this thread about?
Oh. Neanderthals. Yeah, I'm pretty sure I live next to a few and, for the most part, they talk like I do.

Hmm. I had assumed my comment would not be taken as literal and would be understood that when I used Neanderthal I meant "primitive, unenlightened, or reactionary". I guess I was wrong.

By the way, when did 'most' become 'all'?

For some reason, I got this mental image: (note, read this in a snooty, RP English accent)

Caveman #1: "I say, Gort, that is a smashing saber-tooth loincloth you're sporting! Pray tell how you came to acquire such an exquisite piece of kit?

Caveman #2: "But of course, my dear boy! I was with the hunting party on that last mammoth hunt. Dreadful bit of business that was, Snert was gored and Og was trampled, and dash it all, but that bloody mammoth managed to slip our trap! Fortunately, I waited until after the hullabaloo died down and this smashing great cat came by to dine upon our poor cave-mates. Bip and bop, and here I am in my new togs!"

Caveman #1 "Smashing."

Caveman #2 "Indeed."

(edited to correct text-apologies to readers from the Isles-I really don't know the lingo there )



Good grief!
