Where Did Language Even Come From?
This week, we explore, “Where did language even come from?” Short answer: no one really know. And we never will. Long answer: this episode. Did language all evolve from one place? Why are there 6000 language? We’ll find out!
Every week on Stranger Still, we take the questions you’ve never questioned to ask and try to answer them. We want to make you laugh and teach you something interesting at the same time. So join us every Wednesday for another fun filled learn!
If you’ve got a strange question you want answered ask us on Facebook, tweet us @StrangerStill, or drop us an email at podcast@strangerstillshow.com. To find other great podcasts, head on over to FlyingMachine.Network
