Description

In this short, reflective episode, I explore one of humanity’s most overlooked miracles — the invention of language. How did the first people decide what to call things?

From “stick” to “apple,” I unpack the awe-inspiring evolution of speech, naming, and communication — the foundation of everything we take for granted today.
