Geek Speak: The Origins of Language
Oct. 29 | 4 p.m. | Jonas
Please join us on Thursday at 4 p.m. in Jonas 110 for Dr. Andrey Reznikov's Geek Speak, "The Origins of
Language." How did language begin? How did our ancestors create their first words? The main difficulty with
trying to answer that question is that there is very little evidence. If paleontologists have fossils, so they can
reconstruct the shape of a human skull, oral language leaves no fossils (and writing is a relatively recent
invention), so paleo linguists have nothing like that. It does not mean that we should not even try to find an
answer (as was the trend in the 19th century), but it does mean that most of our evidence is circumstantial.
This lecture will attempt to unravel some of the mysteries behind the origins of language.
