A 500,000-Year-Old Wooden Structure in Zambia Was Built by Homo Erectus With Interlocking Pieces.

A linguist says he found a language that breaks the one “universal” rule Noam Chomsky claimed every language must follow, and the backlash included an accusation of racism. In this clip, Joe Rogan talks with linguist Daniel Everett about his research on the Pirahã people of the Amazon, who have no words for numbers, and why that clashed with Chomsky’s claim that all languages are built on recursion. Everett also describes the oldest known wooden structure, a roughly 500,000-year-old build in Zambia attributed to Homo erectus, and explains why he believes a species that crossed water and built boats must have had language. The conversation touches on gatekeeping in science, the scale of the world’s roughly 8,000 languages, and how little of them has been studied. If a species half a million years ago could build structures and cross the sea, how old is language really? 💬 What do you think about the origin of human language?
