The new science of Linguistics has been recognized less than fifteen years. Before, Linguistics was dominated by Professor Chomsky's "Transformational Grammar" a philosophical development. Scientific Linguistics studies the etymology of language back to 400,000 years ago when we first spoke. We were just Homo Erectus before, and speaking just in phonemes (syllables) Homo Sapiens, and then in words Sapiens Sapiens.Our species Homo are not Earthlings, Homo was Hau-Mau when language was still only syllabic, and thinking simple and uninhibited. U (ooo) was the inclusive vowel, the mouth rounded, and Ha was the sensory consonant (as in hot today), so Ha-u meant enjoying both. Ma meant down, below, the earth, earthing, planting seed, and so also impregnating. Ma-u meant the impregnating both, what made us human was we both enjoyed sex; animals only the males, brutish and short.But learning to speak involved adopting ideological thinking to get everyone with the same meanings for each phoneme as we learned to utter them. This ideological thinking, which we are all quite unaware of, must now be identified, condemned and expunged as Hitler thinking, including the Woke ideologies Antifa, BLM and Cancel Culture from California, and President Biden's Socialist Democratic Party still tolerating the demolished Marxist Dialectic, (a simple confusion of the boundary line with the line which is a continuum).
