Facts on Facts

I heard of this the other day but it intrigues me on how the evolution of human language has progressed and changed in such a drastic way in such a short time frame.

Let’s start off by saying, you’re able to converse with your father, and his father and he’s able to speak to is father and his father, etc. Now, if you move a thousand years you’d not even be able to understand what he is saying even if you haven’t changed countries. You’d need a translator!

Makes you wonder what the language might look like in a few hundred years.

What’s even crazier to think about is if none of our ancestors survived what they did, as far as the Roman takeover, Genghis Khans savagery with the Mongols, all plagues that wiped out millions, Hitler’s rampage with the most death from wars, none of us would even be here reading this right now. If one of our parent’s ancestors left their camp in the night and died it would have been a whole line of people not being here. Imagine all the people that could have been here or what they would have been, if they ate the wrong berry, we wouldn’t be here and all those people before us wouldn’t have been here and it goes on and on. With the wars ranging from 1206 — The Mongols and as recent as 1946 — WW2, respectively at 2nd and 1st with the most deaths from wars.

So many wars so speak of, arising from the biggest nations, to the smallest tribes, So much death and so much life.

And here we are, living through another pandemic… Trying to make it out alive, for our future generations.
