Recent research on this question para llels Darwin's attempt to explain both the unity o f all species as well as their diversity. What has emerged is that the unified nature of human langu age arises from a shared, species-specific computa tional ability, one with identifiable correlates i n the brain, that has remained fixed since the ori gin of language about 100 thousand years ago. At t he same time, the nature of variation from languag e to language arises historically in ways similar to biological variation, and can be modelled as su ch.
