(In generative grammar), nodes in a tree are a type of girl
Universal Grammar couldn't evolve
We know that human beings evolved from ancestors without language. This means our language faculty must have evolved and it must therefore be capable of evolving. The innate grammar module the generativists propose is not "evolvable" and poses other problems besides, and cannot therefore be part of our language faculty. On the other hand, there probably are language instincts linked to babbling, selective hearing and the learning of words. Language is also based on a range of social instincts, but these are not language-specific.
