I must agree, Peter. Further, there is no evidence of ANY pre-Homo Sapiens
either. None.

Gal. 27-29: For as many as have had a tevilah into Moshiach have clothed
yourselves with Moshiach. There is not Yehudi nor Yevani (Greek), there is
not eved (servant) nor ben chorin (freedman), there is not zachar (male) nor
nekevah (female), for you are all echad in Moshiach Yehoshua/Yeshua. And, if
you belong to Moshiach (YESHAYAH 53:10), then you are of the ZERAH of Avraham
Avinu, you are yoreshim (heirs) according to the havtachah (promise).

Isaac, you seem to assume here the old but generally discredited idea
(put forward originally by people who also tended to think that we
Aryans are less primitive than you Semites, a theory I utterly reject)
that "primitive" people in ancient times were less intelligent than
modern people. I don't think there is any evidence for this at least
since the emergence of Homo sapiens. So, unless you want to claim that
Hebrew was originally spoken by Neanderthals or other pre-sapiens
species of Homo, then you should not assume that any human language is
simple.
