Since most infrequent words are just Latin words, "demanate" is a bad example of a made up word because if there was ever a need for a word meaning "to remove sea crows" that word would be demanate One could argue that it is a real word, as much as eructate is, just so infrequent that it has not been used yet Comment from : Kavorka Games |

This self-complacent arrogant species chauvinist supposed to be a “scholar” displays a closed mind, absence of humility, obsession with being right, contempt to incredible complexity of evolution, just ironic but also scary to observe Comment from : Alla Kassianova |

i believe Pagel is missing a crucial point, and that is the evolution of the human vocal tract (HVT) I would argue that it required much more time for the HVT to have evolved to the state it is in today than he's suggesting with his 200,000 year time frame It is most likely that the HVT's emergence began with H erectus, and it began because H erectus was using some sort of vocal communication in an increasing manner Which necessarily means that Neanderthal had some sort of vocal communication as well, and given Neanderthal's brain size, it would argue, at least, for language The Neanderthal vocal tract is sufficiently evolved to produce language I emphasize the evolution of the vocal tract for this reason: when it began to evolve, humans lost the ability to breath and drink at the same time In all other terrestrial mammals, the nasal tract can link with the trachea, which allows one to breath and swallow at the same time, but when the HVT began to evolve, this link was broken It eventually led to a condition where any human risks choking with every bite or sip he or she takes Now, why on Earth would such a hazardous condition be increased over time? It would seem to be counter-evolutionary, in fact But it was occurring because of one simple fact Vocal communication had become so important to the species that it had supplanted the dangers of the new shape of the HVT So, does vocal communication mean language? No, at least not right away There was most likely a long evolutionary process that had to occur with both the vocal tract and the brain before modern language finally emerged So, in that respect, 200,000 years might be plausible, but only if we're talking about full-blown modern language Comment from : Michael McBroom |

Typical british nonsens I rather listen to Dan Everett Comment from : Vegard Aukrust |

You forget that the Mediterranean dried out several times, so, who is to say that we didn't spread out of the Mediterranean After all the Med had the optimal temperature, whereas Africa was and is hot as hell Comment from : leonis53 |

Indo-European is much older than Hebrew Comment from : marte thompson |

"There" is consonant-vowel or consonant-diphthong (or consonant-vowel-consonant if in your dialect you pronounce "r" every time it occurs, and does anyone pronounce the final "e" as a distinct sound?) "TH" is a simple consonant represented by a combination of two letters (the Roman alphabet doesn't have a single sign for it, so a "digraph" is used; likewise for the simple consonant represented by "sh") In my dialect (standard British English), "R" is only pronounced at the beginning of a syllable, so for me, "there" is just one syllable: consonant-diphthong, therefore (according to context) two or three sounds, NOT five soundsbrbrOur speaker is confusing letters (written symbols) and consonants (actual sounds) We say that K is a consonant, but what we mean is that K is a symbol (written sign) that stands for a consonant (actual sound) I think that when discussing matters of this kind we need to bear such distinctions in mind, otherwise we can say all sorts of things that are misleading or simply wrongbrbrSo when Pagel says that "there" is "consonant-consonant-vowel-consonant-vowel" he is confusing our modern spelling system with the sounds that people actually make: not FIVE sounds but just two (like me) or three (like him) My point is that language is, in the first place, what people say, not what people write A five-sound word would be something like "acids", "tripped", "spotty" Speakers of different dialects might happily squabble about the number of sounds in "conservation" or "integer" or "laboratory", but in doing so they will realise that however we speak, the spelling is merely a conventional use of symbolsbrbrThe reason why this bothers me is that I would expect a person who is talking about the origin of language to understand this distinction at a basic level The fact that he is confusing such distinctions is, to say the least, worrying Does he think his audience is too stupid to understand the distinction between real things and the symbols we use to represent them, or is he disguising a tendentious argument?

cooperation and sharing are possible without language, in fact it's their presence that makes language possible So it is false to say that it's language that makes them possible A vocabulary is a shared body of words It's not possible to have a language without the sharing of words and meanings Comment from : Charles Justice |

Words don't compete, biological organisms compete Words are tools Tools do not compete or do anything apart from their use by persons Comment from : Charles Justice |

"out of Africa" is false Comment from : Find Bridge |
 |
1:15:48br"I think (!) they (neanderthals) lived a very literal existence"brA rather poorly thought out adjective, given his disbelief in Lingua neanderthalia But that is not surprising, when he doesn't even know the etymology of the word, "language," demonstrated earlier in this drivel Comment from : Subject and Predicate |

Homo erectus was the first hominid species to leave Africa and spread into Eurasia It was immensely successful, flourishing and surviving from about 18 million years ago to as recently as 100,000 years ago (the most recent survival was in Java) Many scholars believe that homo erectus had mastered not only Acheulean tools (the bifaced hand-axes found in Africa and Eurasia), but also fire, and possibly some language capability That is, in fact, a major explanation of its evolutionary success - cooperation in small bands, made possible by language That is not to say that later species (Homo heidelbergensis, or Neandertalensis, were not even more evolved They were, and that is why modern humans came across them and interbred with Neandertals and Denisovans The consensus of scholars now is, in fact, that modern human beings had evolved by around 300,000 years ago It's a pity that Mark Pagel doesn't give sufficient consideration to conclusions different from his own Comment from : Hari Prasad |

Oh dear,br"in 1879 he (Darwin) wrote that "I have never been an atheist in the sense of denying the existence of a God – I think that generally an agnostic would be the most correct description of my state of mind"[103][197]" Comment from : Subject and Predicate |

And wot about the immediate claim that has me worshipping the Biblical God, as if there aren't any other Gods and no definition of God!brClassic ignorance from the "thientithts"brIn theory it's about empirical evidence; but in practice it's about clinging to the life raft, "thienth," and spewing the crudest vulgarities of emotion Ha,ha!brIt's the old one, two "See, we holding the banner, "Thienth," so, whatever we thay, ith thientific and twue And that meanth you can't have an opinion, unless it agreeth with outh!

The question about hebrew as a mother language makes no sens This man need to know that hebrews didn't invent the phones of hebrew alfabet, so hebrew digs in a cradle of semitic languages, from east africa toward western india The thing we answer to this question, it's that hebrew language was relatively well preserved through 4000 years, so like the sanskrit language, they both still carrying anciant archeologic logos called etymas (double consonnant, oldest trace of words), and so both language are till witnesses of the mother tongue (mother tongue of western languages) Comment from : Victor Emman |

He is the most condescending, arrogant person ever Enforcing his theories through rhetorical language abuse like Cato does not make them right But this „Why we have language and others (implied: definitely) had/ have not“ is beyond your capacity to prove Comment from : René Matei |

Animals don't have "Theory of Mind?"brYou haven't been around dogs or horses When they want something, that you can get but they can't, they'll let you know They know you When you point to something, they'll look to or for it Comment from : Subject and Predicate |

I'll be glad, when these blokes have to work for their living, ploughing fields, growing food, etcbrThat's not to say there won't be study, but these blokes won't be studying anything but the wooden handles of their ploughs and which ones give them fewer blisters Comment from : Subject and Predicate |

I just listened to an interview of an archeologist by stefan milo on neaderthals and symbolism It has been proven that neanderthals had some kind of symbolism, and as they interbred with us, it is extremely unlikely that they did not have some kind of language Carvings, pigments, even constructions of larger size for nonpractical but symbolic reasons have been proven for neanderthals Comment from : Hermione3 Müller |

after 15 minutes of introduction and accolades that no viewer gives a damn about Comment from : Justin Greenough |
 |
Nice presentation! But if language is the pinnacle of the Sapiens evolution towards sophisticated communications capabilities it sounds quite odd that the speaker refuses to even consider the hypotethis that Neanderthal's communication capabilities stuck somewhere between Erectus and Sapiens Little adherence to evolutionary thinking It seems and thin argumentative support for that kind of positioning Comment from : Mario B |
 |
Neanderthal hyoid bones have been found, indicating the physical capacity for speech, and I have seen reports of Neanderthal associated flutes, although I would like to see positive proof that they were made and used by Neanderthals Comment from : Marvin Mauldin |
 |
It was a well-explained lecture Thank you very much Comment from : Mehmet Ali Samur |
 |
Talk starts at 11:00 Comment from : double negation |
 |
At 29:43 the speaker is being fairly chauvanistic about what constitutes language, specifically in that homo erectus and neanderthals' tool kits were too crude to be evidence of "real" language Contrast his position with any of the recent lectures by Daniel Everett for a very different take Comment from : zentratus krypto |
 |
What about the development of languages other than European languages ? Comment from : Sarah Fraser |
