Synopsis
This book presents an in-depth examination of numerical terms, particularly the names of numbers from one to ten, across a vast array of languages, uncovering striking similarities. The author proposes a theory of primeval unity among human languages based on these linguistic connections. By comparing words for fingers and hands, which are commonly used to form numerals, the book uncovers potential evidence of an original human family or clan in Central Asia. The similarities observed in numeral systems across diverse languages, from North America to Asia, Africa, and Europe, suggest the existence of a pre-existing ring of human populations encircling the Old World. The geographical distribution of these linguistic parallels, which coincide with regions beyond the areas occupied by later-arriving nations, lends credibility to the idea of a radiating pattern of human migration. This fascinating study offers a unique perspective on the origins of human language and provides valuable insights into the potential unity and diversity of our linguistic heritage.
