That’s because all of the nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs in the four sentences are words that have descended largely unchanged from a language that died out as the glaciers retreated at the end of the last Ice Age. The traditional view is that words can’t survive for more than 8,000 to 9,000 years.
