| Abstract | This paper contains a scenario for the genesis, and part of the progression of language. It consists of a concise interdisciplinary explanation on how modern speech began, by tracing back to language's first appearance through the attainment of physical aptitude for speech, and cognitive expansion of hominans. This is preceded by a short discourse on the linguistic record of archaic language users Homo sapiens and Homo neanderthalensis: a partially common record that can be outlined genetically as well as linguistically. Subsequent focus will be laid on how the current great extent of linguistic diversity may for a substantial part have developed through pidginization and creolization. It will be concluded that that since the utilitarian bond between Homo sapiens and Homo neanderthalensis that existed between 95-30 kya, the creolization process has been a common cause for language progression and a main reason for present language diversity. |
