This thought-provoking video explores the meaning of language and its biological origins. Language is more than communication. It involves sharing what is in our minds, including stories, opinions, questions, ideas, the past and the future, and imagined times and places. The acquisition of language by humans is a great mystery: Did language shape humanity or did humanity shape language?

    Dear Ones: Yes, we are our stories! Love to hear how Karmatubers - or anyone - see/feel/think/speak/believe about our language history... I'm delving in by writing a series of children's stories - inspired by footprints (the vast majority found at actual archaeological sites around the world) from 6+ million years ago to the near present.
