Project Gutenberg 2011-02-04 Public domain in the USA. 136 Johnes, Arthur James 1809 1871 17017927 Philological Proofs of the Original Unity and Recent Origin of the Human Race "Philological Proofs of the Original Unity and Recent Origin of the Human Race" by Arthur James Johnes is a scientific publication written in the mid-19th century. The work investigates the linguistic evidence supporting the idea that all human languages derive from a common source, examining various languages from Asia, Europe, Africa, and America. Johnes aims to demonstrate not only the original unity of the human species but also to argue for the relatively recent emergence of the human race based on linguistic analysis. The opening of this work outlines its intent and scope, beginning with a dedication to Lady Hall. It sets the stage for a thorough investigation into the connections between different languages and their implications on the understanding of human origins. Johnes references previous scholars to establish a scholarly foundation, highlighting the importance of language in tracing the lineage of various nations. He asserts that all existing languages are fragments of a once-common speech, and as such, their comparative study can reveal the original unity of mankind, while also identifying the dialectical differences that have arisen over time. The text emphasizes a methodical approach to language comparison, situating it within both historical and scientific contexts, thereby introducing the academic framework which will be further explored in the subsequent chapters.
