WAS ADAMA PERUVIAN?
Dr. Rudolf Flab, whose linguistic researches in South American have already been noticed in this paper, has lately sent to a Vienna paperja summary of his conclusions. He says that ; the language spoken by the Indians ,in Peru and Bolivia; especially in Quichua and Aymara, exhibit the most astound ing affinities with the Semitic language* and particularly with [the Arabic — in which tongue Dr. Falb himself has been skilled from his boyhood. Follow ing up the lines of this discovery, Dr. Falb has found, first, a connecting link with the Aryan ioots, and second, has arrived face to face with the surprising revelation that " the Semitic roots are Universally Aryan." The common stems of all the varieties are found in their purest condition in Quichua and Ayaaara, from which faot Dr. Falb derives the- conclusion that the high plains of Peru nd Bolivia must be regarded as the point of exit oi the present human race.
