Gerry: OK. So a group of signing Homo ss's spreads itself over a
portion of Eurasia and break down into 2 small nuclear groups. Over
time, each group will attain a vocal language but language A will differ
from language B. Is this what you're saying?

Gerry: Don't be silly! A given is a given and doesn't need to be
proved. Such with laws of God as well as laws of science. And besides
