According to monogenesis, human language arose only once in a single community, and all current languages come from the first original tongue. On the other hand, according to polygenesis, human languages came into being in several communities independently, and current tongues derived from different sources.
They believe that the variation among human racial types cannot be accounted for by monogenism or by evolutionary processes occurring since the proposed recent African origin of modern humans. Polygenists reject the argument that human races must belong to a single species because they can interbreed.
The first serious scientific attempt to establish the reality of monogenesis was that of Alfredo Trombetti, in his book L'unità d'origine del linguaggio, published in 1905. [ 4 ] : 263 [ 5 ] Trombetti estimated that the common ancestor of existing languages had been spoken between 100,000 and 200,000 years ago.
The Catholic Church had technically banned the practice of selling indulgences as long ago as 1567. As the Times points out, a monetary donation wouldn't go amiss toward earning an indulgence.
Dbachmann has raised the question of whether the article "Monogenesis" should be merged with the article "Proto-World". As I have noted above, and as many others have noted on its talk page, the article "Proto-World" has to date been of low quality (in spite of a few elements that are acceptable) and is not in a situation to be merged with anything unless and until it has been greatly improved.
The finding that "Mitochondrial Eve" was relatively recent and African seemed to give the upper hand to the proponents of the Out of Africa hypothesis.But in 2002, Alan Templeton published a genetic analysis involving other loci in the genome as well, and this showed that some variants that are present in modern populations existed already in Asia hundreds of thousands of years ago.

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. [1] This idea was first formulated by Hugo Schuchardt in the late 19th century and popularized in the late 1950s and early 1960s by Taylor (1961) and Thompson (1961) .
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer offered an apology after participating in a bizarre video stunt in which she appeared to mock the Communion sacrament. “Over 25 years in public service, I would ...
