About of language

Hello everyone, today I talk about the language and how this has evolved in the time. For talk about this topic, I saw a video of Mark Pagel.

I think this video is interesting, but the author doesn´t explains in detail the points of his exposition.

He says that the humans have a “social learning” and we are different to the rest of animals for this, because is the form with we accumulate of knowledge; the chimpanzees only copied. The language is a social technology and is important in the cooperation and communication.

I think the most relevant for me is the point of the visual theft, the author says that the cumulative cultural adaptation or social learning is a visual theft, and the ancient humans confronted this crisis with two options; the small group family or the cooperatives societies, and they choose the second as a social form of cooperation and communicating.

Too, he says the language can be barriers of stop in the communicating and says that the future of the world is having only one language.

I think that isn´t possible, because would lose millions of languages, and this is require and very big change cultural in the world. And, I think that not necessarily the different languages are barriers in the communicating, because. I don´t know, but I think is possible the communicating of others forma and understand to other person with different language and produced communicating anyway.
