Join the Discord: https://discord.com/invite/dannyjones Daniel Everett argues that language began before Homo sapiens, with an earlier human species that could build, travel and share knowledge. In this conversation with Danny Jones, the linguist explains why he believes Homo erectus already had language when our own species appeared. He starts with an archaeological discovery discussed in his work with Larry Barham: ancient pieces of wood joined together into a structure. For Everett, the planning behind that construction raises a question about what its makers could communicate to one another. Everett connects the wooden structure to a broader argument about early human abilities. He discusses the advance involved in joining materials, the challenges of building a canoe or a house, and evidence of early humans reaching islands. He also examines brain size and challenges the assumption that a smaller brain automatically rules out language. His conclusion is strong, but he acknowledges the limits of reconstructing speech from archaeology. Spoken words leave no fossils, and researchers can offer competing explanations for the same remains. The clip presents his reasoning for language in Homo erectus, including the gap between his own conviction and what can be demonstrated directly. The discussion then turns to the invention of symbols. Everett describes how people can agree on a word for something and keep creating new shared meanings. He sees that ability as a central step in the emergence of language and considers it alongside other proposed influences, including cooking and psychedelics. His account places the beginnings of language far earlier than explanations centered on Homo sapiens. By the end, he proposes that the first members of our species were born into a world where other humans were already talking, with language forming part of the world they inherited.
