DAVID: This neurosurgeon has been heard from before:
> 
> http://www.uncommondescent.com/human-evolution/neurosurgeon-we-are-more-different-from-... 
> He discusses Wolfe's new book on language at first and then comments:
> "And yet, as Wolfe points out, Darwinists are at an utter loss to explain how language -- the salient characteristic of man -- "evolved." 
> 
> dhw: It is possible that the physical transformations needed for our forms of language were brought about by the need for new sounds - evolution as a response to changing requirements.-Sorry, but the anatomic changes for spoken language, which I have described in the past were present 200,000 years in H. sapiens skeletal remains before language is thought to have appeared 50,000 years ago. The evidence is strong that anatomy preceded language suggesting pre-planning in evolution by God.
