I just published We all came out of Black Africa The best of it all is that we are still here to witness this emergence, though we may wonder if it was for the better of the planet, or even the cosmos. And nature is coming back after us to catch us and clean up the mess we made with a few pandemics and some wars and plenty of sanctions imposed by the stronger onto those who are less strong than them. How long will it last? And it will take more than a Messiah to get rid of man's vanity.

BACK COVER PRESENTATION
Cro-Magnon’s language is an ambitious project in phylogenic linguistics.
The objective is to go back to the shift from animal to human articulated language.
Homo Sapiens some 300,000 years ago, found himself endowed with mutations
selected by his being a long distance fast bipedal runner: a very low larynx; a
complex articulating apparatus; a sophisticated coordinating system bringing
together diaphragm, breathing, heartbeat, legs and general body posture. These
three physiological improvements permitted new linguistic possibilities: more
consonants; more vowels; a brain able to construct a mind both producing and
produced by articulated language. This developed the ability to conceptualize and
develop abstract thinking.
The phylogeny of language from a purely linguistic and cognitive point of
view activates three articulations to generate human language: vowels and
consonants; the morphology of the word from root to stem and then frond; the
syntactic structures of utterances. This is based on the communicational syntax
conveyed by the human communicational situation that requires the power to
conceptualize, both daily procedural communication and inter/intra-generational
cognitive and didactic communication.
Homo Sapiens evolved in Africa from previous hominins (Homo Faber or
Homo Ergaster) that already migrated out of Africa to the Middle East and Central
Asia where Neanderthals and Denisovans respectively evolved from them. The
nest of this evolution is debated due to recent archaeological discoveries, but the
first migration was in Africa from sub-Saharan Africa to Northern Africa. Then out
of Africa.
I assume the migrations took place every time the phylogeny of language
stabilized on the basis of each articulation. The first migration was on the basis of
the simple consonant-vowel articulation producing root languages (all
consonantal root languages). The second migration on the basis of the
morphological articulation produced stems categorized as nouns or verbs, spatial

3. 2
or temporal. These languages are isolating invariable-character languages. The
third migration corresponded to the production of fronds, words syntactically
categorized as functional nominals and conjugated verbals ready to build
syntactic utterances. The communicational syntax was essential to build
discourse in root language and little by little was integrated in langue itself
reducing the extension and role of discourse, and in the last forms many
categories integrated in words are exteriorized outside the words as determiners,
prepositions, auxiliaries, adverbs, thus realizing in langue abstract systems of
categorizing operations and forms.
These migrations lead us to three phylogenic linguistic families:
consonantal root languages; isolating invariable-character stem languages; and
agglutinative or synthetic-analytical frond languages. These languages spread in
the world along with the successive migrations of Homo Sapiens. The answer
then to the question about Cro-Magnon’s language is simple and clear: an
agglutinative Turkic set of languages and dialects we could call Old European
languages to be replaced after the Ice Age by Indo-European languages coming
from the Iranian plateau and Mesopotamia.
Follow the detail of this exploration in this book, a life-time research and
exploration and the first stage of a vaster research. The next stage is the linguistic
psychogenesis of human children and language learners. That next stage will
come soon. The final stage will be the exploration of how acculturation-
deculturation-acculturation is the very human process of human civilization and
corresponds to the Buddhist birth-death-rebirth vision invented in the other branch
of Indo-Iranian languages, viz. the Indo-Aryan languages that migrated from the
same nest as Indo-European languages but east instead of west.

The present research is extremely complex because it crosses several
scientific fields that have never been crossed before for the simplest reason that
archaeologists are not phylogenic linguists and phylogenic linguists are not
archaeologists, and strangely enough an archaeological team will not integrate in
its daily work a phylogenic linguist and in the same way a phylogenic linguistic
team will not integrate an archaeologist. We can regret it but it is a fact. That’s
why it is necessary to explain the general goal of this research that tries to cross
these various fields.
THE INVENTION OF HUMAN LANGUAGE
The language of Homo Sapiens is unique in the world in the fact that it is
articulated and it is built with three successive and hierarchically organized
articulations. This is the result of what is called the phylogeny of language. The
validation of this phylogeny is in the psychogenetic acquisition of language (first
and foreign languages) by children, teenagers and adults. This is pure linguistics
and the very first linguist who dedicated a lot of energy to the subject of what he
called the “glossogeny” of language was Gustave Guillaume, particularly in his
lectures in 1958-59 and in 1959-60 (the last lecture of January 28, 1960 was
delivered five days before his death at the age of 77).i He too saw three stages in
that process of the emergence of human language. He centered that complex
emergence on what he called “thought” [pensée] and he advocated the idea that
thought was building language at the same time as it was being built by language.
This idea of simultaneous and mutually generating thought and language is an
idea I would favor though I would also shift it slightly towards a more mental
process centered on the ability of the brain to discriminate patterns in the
continuous flow of sensations received from all senses and physiological sensors

6. 5
in the body, then to identify and to conceptualize these patterns by using
language to name them. The invention of referential words to name such patterns
developed language and the ability of the brain to discriminate and conceptualize
such patterns. Language develops along with conceptualization that develops
along with language.
This phylogeny of language is based on the three levels of morphological
growth of the word in languages. First the root, second the stem and third the
frond.
The root only identifies and conceptualizes a semantic meaning which is
not captured as spatial or temporal, as nominal or verbal. This root is not
categorized, meaning it does not carry in itself such a category or part of
discourse that would make it a nominal (spatial) element or a verbal (temporal)
element. In the same way this root does not carry in itself any function, gender,
number, extension on one hand or tense, mode, aspect, person, number on the
other hand. All these elements are attached to the roots within the discursive
production of linguistic utterances. These root languages are thus constructed on
the basis of only the first articulation between consonants and vowels integrated
in the langue of such languages. All the rest is discourse.
The stem is a categorized linguistic item and it carries nothing else but a
nominal or verbal categorization added to the meaning of the root. The words
produced at this level are invariable and all other elements like function, gender,
number, extension on one hand or tense, mode, aspect, person, number on the
other hand are added around these items by the discursive process itself
producing utterances. These languages are thus built on the second articulation
between spatial and temporal elements due to the conceptualization of space and
time by the human mind and their integration in the langue of the concerned
languages, a langue that is entirely built on these conceptualized categorical
elements. All the rest then is discourse.
The frond is an item that carries nominal and verbal categories and may
also carry function, gender, number, extension on one hand or tense, mode,
aspect, person, number on the other hand. The words are thus ready to build
utterances in the discursive process that will associates these fronds together.
The langue of such languages has integrated such syntactic elements by
conceptualizing the very communicational situation. All that it has not integrated in
this communicational situation is discourse.
Note these three levels are present in the languages that are based on
such fronds, that have reached the third articulation, that of fully or vastly
integrated communicational syntax in the words themselves. English for instance
with some words like “work” have kept or recreated some kind of root items since

7. 6
the word “work” itself is not clearly categorized and seems to be invariable in
many uses. Yet it is categorized too and thus it is a stem since it can be used
without any change as a noun or as a verb, and at the same time it is a frond
because it can carry in some other uses special nominal or verbal marks. The
following utterance does not say whether the word “work” is a noun or a verb.
“Work, work, always work!”
Actually it can be both. First a noun:
“Work, work, always work! No doubt work is an admirable thing!”ii
Second a verb:
“You must work, child, work, work, always work.”iii
It is common in Indo-European languages or Indo-Aryan languages (both
third articulation languages or frond languages) to have words that are built on
roots categorized in a way or another as nominal or verbal stems and then
carrying various marks that make them be fronds. Think of the noun “food” versus
the verb “feed” from the Proto Indo-European root *pa-. “Food” is a frond since it
is neuter in gender, can carry a plural mark, can have articles attached to it, plus
adjectives, plus attachments or agreement rules for person and number, etc.
“Feed” is a verb since it can be conjugated (“feed,” “feeds,” “fed,” “feeding” and all
other temporal or modal constructions) and it can carry agreement rules for
person and number, etc.
CROSSING PHYLOGENY AND MIGRATIONS OUT OF AFRICA
This phylogeny is based on the observation of many languages. But the
originality of this research is that we cross this phylogeny with the migrations out

8. 7
of Africa and the languages these migrations produced. The oldest migration
produced root languages (Hamito-Semitic languages). The middle migration
produced stem languages (isolating character languages). The final migration
produced frond languages (agglutinative and synthetic-analytical languages).
Founding then this work on a simple observation about the conservative
linguistic behavior of any people, individuals or groups, leaving their linguistic
communities, we considered that the three great migrations left the African nest of
humanity at the three important stages of the phylogenic development of human
language in the nest, thus freezing it at the level it had reached when they left.
As you can see I start from what Greenberg and his school have asserted
and proved, that all human languages had only one original source. Then I
integrate what archaeology has been discovering for twenty or twenty-five years
proving all humanity started in Africa with a completely different time-agenda for
the migrations out of Africa. I then integrate the results of genetic research that is
speeding up so much that it becomes difficult to follow it, but it has proved only
the Africans who have never been in genetic contact with people from outside
Africa do not have the Neanderthals or Denisovan genetic heritage all other
human beings outside Africa have, which is the proof Africa was the starting block
since Neanderthals and Denisovans could only be met outside Africa.
It is on the basis of these fields of research that I can articulate the
phylogeny of language and the migrations out of Africa. The linguistic families I
propose are thus based on this phylogeny of language and satisfy at the same
time archaeological and genetic results.
Thus we can ask and answer the question of the “origin of language.”
Language is not something given from who knows whom, what, where and how,
not to mention when, but language is a human invention developed in a strictly
defined environment on the basis of physiological mutations selected naturally to
make Homo Sapiens a fast bipedal long distance runner confronted to a strong
communicational need if not obligation to simply survive, on the basis of the
communicational abilities of their non Homo Sapiens ancestors. Note
Neanderthals and Denisovans are not ancestors of Homo Sapiens but they
descend from the same ancestors, which implies these pre-Homo-Sapiens
ancestors are also pre-Neanderthals and pre-Denisovan ancestors, implying
further that these Homo Faber (or whatever other name you give them) had
already migrated far out of Africa, assuming Neanderthals and Denisovans
continued their migration, hence went to Europe and spread in Asia, which
implies their ancestors came from Africa.
The communicational situation is then seen as the matrix of the very
syntax of all human languages, a matrix that exists outside any individual man

9. 8
himself, though it contains all these individuals in social interrelations, and outside
human language itself, though this outside communicational situation is integrated
by the phylogenic process into the langue of human language, progressively from
one stage to the next. Yet this strict outside communicational situation remains
active after the invention of language because it is needed to compensate for
what the langue has not integrated, and no langue of no language has integrated
the whole communicational situation. It is this communicational situation that will
enable children to learn the language or languages they are confronted to. There
is no Universal Grammar in some kind of genetically inherited black box: there is
only the human brain that discriminates patterns in sensorial impulses and then
uses the articulatory power of man’s body (mainly the larynx, the glottis, the
mouth, the tongue and the lips, plus the coordinating Broca area of the brain) to
give “names” to these patterns and thus to develop human conceptualization and
this power will enable the child to conceptualize everything: vowels and
consonants, space and time and the communicational situation itself, and there
you have the three articulations and vast families of languages.
This research then opens up new vistas in phylogenic linguistics where
we meet Gustave Guillaume and a few others, but also (though it is not
concerned in this here research, but will be later in a second part of the research)
in psychogenetic linguistics where we meet Jean Piaget, L.S. Vygotsky, and
many other psychologists, linguists and didacticians.
The main conclusion is that communication is potentially equal all over
the world: any language can potentially express anything it wants to express with
the langue it contains and the communicational situation and syntax that contain
the human speakers. Here we definitely meet people like Paul Radin, Claude
Lévi-Strauss, Margaret Mead and many others who refused to consider some
languages as more apt to express abstract ideas than others. The
communicational situation and its syntax are the same, absolutely similar for all
human beings. What varies is the level of required communication that depends
on the situation in which this communication occurs. You generally do not discuss
the latest progress in nuclear science and technology with your cows while taking
care of them on your farm, if you are a farmer, because you cannot really get a
response on the subject from these cows. That does not mean your language
could not discuss this abstract subject if you were required to do so and if you had
the knowledge necessary.
