The current scientific view of the earliest possible advent of Man in Africa, is based on the oldest fossils of recognizable modern Homo Sapiens ,appearing at Omo Klblsh In Ethiopia estimated to be about 200.000 years old..Tracing migration of human population and language. From this identified central location at different time intervals, belongs to the domain of the creative imagination of historical linguists. Scientists do claim that they are able to clearly indicate the migratory patterns, by tracing the clearly marked genetic footprints. This has provided a very potent tool enabling historical Linguists to pursue their quest of man kinds Proto language .This no doubt, is an extremely complex and absorbing exercise. However, the most important piece of evidence normally considered irrefutable in the above pursuit overlooks the fact that there might have been distinct and mutually irreconciable practices in different human societies of antiquity about disposal of dead bodies. While paying final homage to the dead /ancestors, the clan members' could have used the following modes for disposal of the dead. *sub soil burial, engraving (which ensures availability of fossils of different ages) *Burning (which does not leave any such evidence) *Mummification *Exposing the dead body to the elements of nature be eaten by birds and beasts etc These ancient practices might have resulted in other likely habitats of ancient man (out side Africa) having complete absence of human fossils, either old or new, not being reckoned as likely locations of man's advent. Therefore, the assumption that, all human societies, followed the practice of burying the dead may not be a sound basis for quantification of the age of human existence at given locations , and the only deciding factor of predominant direction of human migration from such central locations. This does not in any way, put a question mark on historical linguists' laudable action to define with certitude the appearance and frquency of human exodus paths , by locating .genetic markers amongst modern people with a view to identify the connectivity of their current spoken language to a non existing hypothetically conceived Proto Language. However, it provides room for other loctional options for linguistic evolution to be considered in parallel at different time and space configurations which may better match the current multiplicity of world language.

Compare to this metro network under construction is 792km and underplanning is 793 km. This means LRT and Tram network in EUrope will increase three fold compare to metros in next 10 years.Devloping nations loke India must plan for modern trams which cost nearly of 1/3 cost of the heavy metros.

Most attempts in the past aimed at final interpretation of the text.In the initial stage the effort has to be directed towards discovering the hidden sound behind the sign or sequence .
