>1. your cunt
>2. your opinion on this
I have this theory which I can't really back up with real science but I think it's pretty legit.

I think that we, as humans evolved to develop our own language and we can take other languages but we can never master them like natives can. An African dude born and raised in the West will never speak as English as well as a top-tier English speaker like me can the same way I'll never speak Japanese as well as a native Jap literary genius.

Thoughts?

This is just a baseless theory. I'm looking into all the sciences about it for hardlining proof.

I don't understand your point. How does it connect with the pyramids?

My guess is that people everywhere have similar nature and for example that's why every early civilization had a need for a religion. Also if you wanted to build a building that would touch the sky (without proper tech) you needed to build it in a pyramid shape for it to be able to bear all the stress.

Human physiology effects people's voices, but language is entirely memeitic.

You're right that your theory is baseless, because it's completely untrue.

Perhaps blacks will have deeper voices, or east-asians will have more high-pitched voices, because blacks tend to be taller and stockier and east-asians tend to be shorter and leaner, but if you raised them among a Cherokee tribe, they would both learn Cherokee and be fluent in it.

Pic related are the Cherokee elders of Oklahoma. This isn't really about the above point, it's just an interesting picture.

Similar cultural progression of human civilization.

An easy way to stack stones to make stable early buildings

>3 doors
Large one for the head of the household (father), and two other for the child and the mother.
Or it could just be aesthetically pleasing, who knows.

So, you're saying, we can't understand what they did write? Is that your theory or there's something I'm missing?

What the hell are you talking about?
Do you honestly believe that ethnicity has anything to do with language acquisition?
>>
I don't think this is true. If you break down learning a language you can look at it as adding additional words to your vocabulary consisting of all words you know from all languages and adding additional rules to all of the grammatical rules you know. After that its just a matter of memorization. Grammar relies on logic and is fairly intuitive across all languages. Theres no mystic quality to language.

I remember I saw a comment along the lines of "The foreigners are already taking over our language. Can't they just leave our language alone." on a video about historically accurate pronunciation in Shakespeare, because the actor was black (with no foreign accent).

You don't want darkies studying your great, great, great, great (...) grandfather's Germanic yeoman-speak. It's not like darkies can speak English correctly anyway. It would be like me speaking ching-chong nip-nong. /s

Not really.

A chinese born and raised in the USA will be speaking English just like your average American. Same for blacks raised in Germany or France. etc., etc.

Kek.
We also have plenty of african writers, so his theorybis invalid. Language is not related to genetics -or not as much as he says- because It's a slipping, very changing huma practice that evolves independantly from evolution.
Btw all sort of theories implying generics to justify a cultural habit is retarded, our modern culture is not related to instinct of genetics.

Modern racial anthropology claims, that all races and populations on the planet have the same mental capacity in general, there is only individual variability. So even a Tasmanian aboriginal should be able to learn the same that other people if put in appropriate environment from birth. I think africans speak english other way than whities because they live in ghettos, communities etc
