    Put a hundred toddlers on an island. Leave a few older children that will disappear a few years later that are taught to fish/hunt/gather. See what kind of language develops, or what kind of civilization. How many survive?

    It is VERY unethical. Add variables to other islands, such as the amount of children, and what you teach them.

      This is somewhat similar to how Nicaraguan sign language was developed. Basically, kids at a school for the deaf invented it.
