Abstract

This paper aims to present, analyze and interpret relationship and evolution of languages and genetics through critical reading and interpretation of work of Luigi Luca CavalliSforza. There are many similarities between genes and languages. In both cases changes happen first in one unit and after that it can spread through whole population. Those changes in genes are calles mutations and they can transcend from generation to generation, from parents to children. On the other hand linguistic changes are much more frequent and they can translate from person to person whether or not they are genetically related. For that reason, languages change faster than genes.
