Comment on “Phonemic Diversity Supports a Serial Founder Effect Model of Language Expansion from Africa”

Michael Cysouw; Dan Dediu; Steven Moran

<jats:p>We show that Atkinson’s (Reports, 15 April 2011, p. 346) intriguing proposal—that global linguistic diversity supports a single language origin in Africa—is an artifact of using suboptimal data, biased methodology, and unjustified assumptions. We criticize his approach using more suitable data, and we additionally provide new results suggesting a more complex scenario for the emergence of global linguistic diversity.</jats:p>

Response to Comments on “Phonemic Diversity Supports a Serial Founder Effect Model of Language Expansion from Africa”

Quentin D. Atkinson

<jats:p>Concerns have been raised about my proposal that global phonemic diversity was shaped by a serial founder effect during the human expansion from Africa. I welcome this discussion of new data and alternative interpretations. Although this work highlights interesting questions for future research, it does not undermine support for a serial founder effect model of expansion of language from Africa.</jats:p>

Comment on “Phonemic Diversity Supports a Serial Founder Effect Model of Language Expansion from Africa”

Chuan-Chao Wang; Qi-Liang Ding; Huan Tao; Hui Li

<jats:p>Atkinson (Reports, 15 April 2011, p. 346) reported a declined trend of phonemic diversity from Africa that indicated the African exodus of modern languages. However, his claim was only supported when the phonemic diversities were binned into three or five levels. Analyses using raw data without simplification suggest a decline from central Asia rather than from Africa.</jats:p>

Comment on “Phonemic Diversity Supports a Serial Founder Effect Model of Language Expansion from Africa”

Rory Van Tuyl; Asya Pereltsvaig

<jats:p>Atkinson (Reports, 15 April 2011, p. 346) concluded that language originated in western Africa and that, due to a serial founder effect, languages repeatedly lost phonemes the farther they moved from the African point of origin. Independent examination of the published data tends to refute both these claims.</jats:p>
