Part 9/17:
On the topic of human history, the speakers ponder when language emerged, estimating around 40,000 to 65,000 years ago. They mention interactions between Homo sapiens and Neanderthals, with evidence suggesting they coexisted and interbred for long periods, challenging previous notions of linear human evolution. The discussion explores how early humans developed communication tools, starting with rudimentary drums and possibly using vocal formations that led to complete language.
