@astroboomboy thank you very much for explaining. if we are wired for grammer/language, why is it harder for adults to learn a language, or is that not true? this presents a problem to me. i dont have the proper lexicon for this conversation so bare with me. the problem is, that babies have only so many sounds they are able to make. say our first humans would only be speaking baby talk, perhaps they would mix in animal noises. i guess im asking how did we get such a complex language.

@aqueenowlbee He is saying that the basic principles of language (the underlying grammar) is not something that we learn, but it is rather "programmed" in our brain. The evidence is found in the lack of data children have when learning a language. They just get the language without any seemingly effort, and this happens because the brain has a center for language that maps the words it hears into a framework that consists of some underlying principles of grammar common to all languages.
