Linguistic conundrum


Recommended Posts

Here's one for you archeology buffs out there....

You can track human migration through language.

The oldest form of proto-writing is considered to be that of the Vinca, an early European culture, from between 6000 and 4000 B.C. which then moves south to.....

The oldest written language is considered to be Sumerian cuniform, from about 3400 B.C., then language travels across Asia and crosses a land bridge and eventually winds up in....

The oldest written language in the Americas is found on a stone slab discovered in 2006 in Mexico, considered to be part of the Olmec civilization and dated roughly 3000 years ago, or about 1000 B.C. Makes sense.....but wait......

The oldest civilization that evidence has been found of in the Americas is the Caral Supe, a recently discovered Peruvian civilization that dates back to 3000 to 2500 B.C.

Now, what are all the questions that this chain of events brings up?

It all scares me

If this is a quirky bit of humor directed at people afraid of history, bravo.

If not, what could possibly be scary about something that has already happened?

I am very interested in human evolution and would like to hear the answer to your riddle posed above.

The fact that you and I have been able to communicate for like 1 millionth of the earth's history makes me realize how insignificant we may be

    • I don't really care as much about athleticism and arm strength.  While Murray might be better in that regard, I think Bryce has enough of both to do well in the NFL. The main reason this trade reference is silly is the money and the fact that Murray has been around a long while and hasn't proven that he can perform consistently when the game is on the line.  Bryce has shown that he can play well in the clutch (in the few opportunities he has had).  
    • If Bryce can continue the level of play he showed after the benching, then there's a good shot we at least compete to win the division. Tampa is a solid team but even last year in our week division they went 10-7 and will be on their 4th OC in as many years. The Saints are a mess and are in a mist of a half rebuild half still trying to compete mode and will probably be starting a rookie QB. The Falcons are a wild card as they have a really good offense but are we really crowning Michael Penix as a franchise QB after just 3 games?  The only thing I want out of this season is for Bryce to come out and without a shadow of a doubt prove he's our franchise QB. If that happens then most of the fanbase would be happy and I believe we'd be in a good place record wise at the end of the season. Maybe falling just short of winning the division with a chance to sneak in as a wild card team.
