THE CONSEQUENCES
OF THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE MUTATION
THAN ITS CAUSES! WHAT WÀS SÓ SPECIAL ABOUT THE NEW SAPIENS LANGUAGE
THAT IT ENABLED US TO CONQUER THE WORLD? WE ARE "THINKING STORYTELLERS
'ADDICTED TO DREAMS & PSYCHEDELIKATESSEN'"! Here & in following pages, when speaking about
Sapiens language, we refer also to basic linguistic abilities of our species and nòt to a particular
dialect! English, Dutch, Hindi & Chinese are àll variants òf Sapiens language: apparently, even at the
time of the Cognitive Revolution, different Sapiens groups hàd dìfferent dialects?!! It was not the FÌRST
language: every animal hàs sòme kind of language!! Even insects, such as bees & ants, know how to
communicate in sophisticated ways, informing one another of the whereabouts of food. Neither was it
the first vocal language! Many animals, including all ape & monkey species, háve vocal languages?
For example, green monkeys use calls of various kinds to communicate! Zoologists have identified
one call that means 'CAREFUL! AN EAGLE!' A slightly different call warns 'Careful! Lion!'
When researchers played a recording of the first call to a group of monkeys, these monkeys stopped
what the were doing & looked upwards in fear! When this same group heard a recording of the second
call, the lion warning, they quickly scrambled ùp a treed! Sapiens can produce many more distinct
sounds than green monkeys, but whales & elephants have equally impressive abilities. A parrot can
say anything Albert Einstein could say, as wèll as mimicking the sounds of phones ringing, doors
slamming & sirens whaling?! Whatever advantage Einstein had over a parrot, it wasn't vocal! What,
then, is so special about Óur Human Sapiens language? The most common answer is that our
language ìs amazingly supple! We càn connect a limited number of sounds & signs to produce an
infinite number of sentences, each with a dìfferent méaning. We càn thereby ingest, store & communicate
a prodigious amount of information about the surrounding world!
