An attempt to find as much of the very first language as possible

The Evolution of Human Languages project is developing a database in the hopes of reconstructing ancestor languages. Presently three superfamilies posited: Borean (the group that migrated from Africa to Central Asia), Papuan (the group that migrated from Africa along the south coast of Asia and then to Australia), and the click languages of the San (Bushmen of southern Africa and probably the closest to earliest humans).
