Where did language come from?

Matt and Brandon are back after a hiatus and are ready to discuss all the deepest questions science can answer. They’re starting things off this week with the origin of language: how did we evolve the ability to talk and how is our system for communicating different from the ones that animals use? Tune in to learn some possible answers to these questions and to hear Matt turn one of them into a pitch for an animated musical.
