Do all languages share words that are not modern?

Asked by Ltryptophan (12091points) March 3rd, 2010

Are there any words that might point to a very ancient language from our very earliest ancestors? Cuneiform is old. Since we all come from the same place, did any words or even word sounds survive the trip? How could you tell if some words were the same for no reason, in two cultures?
