linguistics is the answer to know about the origin of man. If we can track the nomenclature of the languages and learn the different phonetics used, we can go back to the tower of Babylon (which was anthropologically proved to have existed)
For example, from the paper I published here a while back (I can’t trace my past posts. I don’t know what the admin did to them), I noted that the Kikuyu language has foreign elements like ‘tene’ and ‘mutamaiyu’ traced from the North.
There are language families which can be traced back to Noah’s sons if we were talking Biblically. Chaldaic was the language spoken before the tower of babel. It is said Adam spoke adamic language which is now lost. Basically what I am saying is that, linguistics have proved the events of the tower of Babel.
Let’s use delve deep into the anthropology of linguistics and answers will start streaming in.
The bible is not a historical book it’s fiction, legends and myth. Whether it serves it’s purpose or not I’m not concerned.
Tracing of human origins and evolution hits many snags. The best logical story is of human dna being tinkered with. Beyond the iron age, many centuries can’t be accounted for on human advancing through archeology. The transfer of new technology appears alien. However collaborative legend/myths exist in all societies about sky bound overlords and origin of our existence from them.
Hey, the tower of Babel is a historical fact whether you believe in religion or not. If you learn to study languages like latin, Hebrew and learn the Jewish language chronology, you will understand me.
