When We First Talked
Check out our podcast Eons: Mysteries of Deep Time: http://ow.ly/2J4450Iu69U
The evolution of our ability to speak is its own epic saga and it’s worth pausing to appreciate that. It’s taken several million years to get to this moment where we can tell you about how it took several million years for us to get here.

Why and how did they first talk. I mean if a rock starts speaking, u must ask how? Only sensible answer is, we were taught langugae by the one who made us. Simple.
I love learning about our ancient ancestors. I wish we could travel back in time just to observe them. Obviously they didn’t speak English, but what did their language sound like? Did any words they have sound like words we have today? Did they sing? Did they have accents? Did they use sign language? It’s so fascinating and I’m pretty sad we’ll (probably) never know
In order to frame your chubby face, you need shoulder length hair. Do not tie it up in a braid down one side. Leave it down at that length, it will frame your face much better. I’m Not trying to be rude. I’m just trying to help.
And now people won't shut up
Itsnotreal is a colonial apartide state, not a country.
WHAT ABOUT THE BUSHMAN CLICK LANGUAGES?
Excellent effort for including key concepts ..shows the amount of effort put in making the video
Some extra facts:
There are a few languages that have only 2 vowels, usually some aproximation of /a/ and another aproximation of /e~ə/ thingy.
The start of human language doesnt start only with the ability to move the toungue freely and the air sack, but also with the ability to use the lips for precise artivulation (as much as the tongue). Every language (at least according to my humble but expanded knowladge over the 8 years of mingling in this subject) has at least either one bilabial (meaning uses the lips for articulation) consonant or at least one rounded (as in rounded lips) vowel. But usually most languages have at least 2 bilabial consonants and 1 rounded vowel. And yet, human language with out the use of lips is plausible, so who knows?
"Sima de los huesos" means "Top of bones" though … (kinda the opposite from whatcha said)
I'd like to believe it all started from name, then primates started to recognised individuality
“Eek, Uk, UooNga, BouunGa!”
“Groog for the last time, no one wants to trade their shiny and sharp rock with you.”
Ten year olds are litterally old enough to produce any human sounds from their vocal system
So anyway, I went gneurshk and changed humankind forever
I wish the drawings of our ancient ancestors weren't ALL male. Representation is important, we no longer call them "early man" so please don't just show men.
It would be entirely possible to show females with the same careful angles and placement of raised arms and held tools that are used to hide the sexual characteristics of the male figures to hide the breasts of the females. They could also have long hair conveniently hanging over their shoulders if that is the reason female hominids aren't being included.
this connection to apes has been scientifically proven untrue. humans appeared suddenly in the fossil records, this coincides with the world wide flood, it is time we get out of the dark ages of presumption and take true science into account.
If the first word wasn't "Oi" I'd be surprised.
caught that ludovico einaudi in the bg music 🙂
The question then is, what actually is a language? How do we define which creatures actually have one?
When did we first use fire 🔥?
So what did you search for?
300 million years ago?!?
Its only 2024😂
And how they create the biggest scam .. Im talking about the religion
Human first talk same like baby bro '. wwoooo, ppphhhoo' nngnnngg' . later human follow some voices from other living beings bro '
The idea that there were other species in the homo genus that existed alongside us is crazy to think about.
First talk human made may be when they randomly eat some psylocibine and then talked ‘wow what a wonderful world’😂
It kinda gives me an ick feeling when seeing the skulls of almost human species maybe that’s why early human species fought each other so much because they hated how they looked
언어사용 뇌 (좌뇌)를 주로 쓰는 오른손잡이가 많아진게 60만년전부터라는 자료도 있던데. 그때부터 고급언어를 썼을까요
It's highly improbable that humans moved from no speech to speech in one step. Rather, speech developed in small increments, the same way it does in babies. That means early humans did not need complete speech-enabling futures to speak. Considering that speech is also reliant on brain functions, they could have functioned satisfactorily with the same equipment primates possess today. There is also the possibility that speech is a human invention built on specific human abilities, the same way as writing or riding a bike. A baby will not learn speech unless they are exposed to speech. Similarly, someone born deaf will not develop speech even though all their speech faculties could be perfect. So, it is too preposterous to hypothesize that one early human figured associating sounds with objects and taught the rest, giving rise to language.
I feel like we overlooked one of the reasons we haven't found intelligent life outside of Earth. Communication is so intricate. Without being able to "talk", it's nearly impossible to advance. If you can't clearly present an idea in detail, there's no way you can collaborate to make new technology. It's such a rare quality, that out of the thousands and thousands of species, only one species can grasp concepts; humans.
Why do you only show the bones or ape versions of Ancient African humans but show artistic renderings of Ancient European Humans. It's feeling kinda jim crowish..😠😠😠
🦴 +👌= 🪛 now that's funny don't who ya are

Yikes! PBS can do better than this, Really! There is so much more to learn about linguistics in prehistoric times! Why qre they giving us these snippets, and leaving us hanging for more.
The first vocal argument?
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sure
