Abstract
The formation of different languages and of distinct species, and the proofs that both have been developed through a gradual process, are curiously the same. … Languages, like organic beings, can be classed in groups under groups. … A language, like a species, when once extinct, never … reappears. The same language never has two birthplaces …. The survival or preservation of certain favoured words in the struggle for existence is natural selection.
