monogenesis
monogeny

If monogenesis is correct then there must be a most recent common ancestor of these languages.

However, monogenesis and relexification have a number of problems.

Some scholars consider him a supporter of monogenesis, the theory that all languages have a common origin.

For Douglass, monogenesis was closely related to egalitarianism and his politics of black humanity.

He described his own views as "unorthodox monogenesis".

Although Greenberg did not produce an explicit argument for monogenesis, all of his classification work was geared toward this end.

He wanted to provide evidence for monogenesis, the theory that all human beings descend from a common source (as opposed to polygenism).

It is contrasted with monogenesis, which is the view that human languages all go back to a single common ancestor.

The line of Kaisers born in the monogenesis from the women who were called Blessed Virgin.

He rejected Monogenesis, and claimed that the Bible supported Polygenisis.

Monogenism or sometimes monogenesis is the theory of human origins which posits a common descent for all human races.

The monogenesis theory usually rejects the Münsterites and other radicals from the category of true Anabaptists.

String figures, once thought to have proven monogenesis, appear to have arisen independently as an entertainment pastime in many societies.

The concept of "Proto-Human" presupposes monogenesis of all recorded spoken human languages.

Monogenesis (linguistics)

His arguments for monogenesis were first presented in his book L'unità d'origine del linguaggio, published in 1905.

In historical linguistics, monogenesis refers to the idea that all spoken human languages are descended from a single ancestral language spoken many thousands of years ago.

Linguistic monogenesis is the hypothesis that there was a single proto-language, sometimes called Proto-Human, from which all other vocal languages spoken by humans descend.

The multiregional hypothesis would entail that modern language evolved independently on all the continents, a proposition considered implausible by proponents of monogenesis.

The hypothesis that humans have a single origin (monogenesis) was published in Charles Darwin's Descent of Man (1871).

He is best known as an advocate of the doctrine of monogenesis, according to which all of the world's languages go back to a single common ancestral language.

The best-known supporter of monogenesis in America in the mid-20th century was Morris Swadesh (cf. Ruhlen 1994:215).

Colenso denied that polygenism caused any kind of racist attitudes or practices, like many other polygenists he claimed monogenesis was the cause of slavery and racism.

According to the theory of monogenesis in its most radical form, all pidgins and creole languages of the world can be ultimately traced back to one linguistic variety.

It does not presuppose monogenesis of these languages with unrecorded languages, such as those of the Paleolithic or hypothetical Neanderthal languages.

Darwin thus used Descent of Man to disprove the polygenist thesis and end the debate between polygeny and monogeny once and for all.

By the same token the most vociferous upholders of monogeny, the thesis that all men are members of a single species, have often been deeply committed to political doctrines of social equality.

Darwin's publication of this book occurred within the heated debates between advocates of monogeny, who held that all races came from a common ancestor, and advocates of polygeny, who held that the races were separately created.
