eric3579says...*brain *fascinating
siftbotsays...Adding video to channels (Brain) - requested by eric3579.
yellowcsays...Watched the whole thing. Pretty interesting stuff, my favourite part was the autistic guy who knew 20 languages and counting. Just makes me think how different this world would be if we all had that honed ability but without the sacrifice of near every other function or a huge investment of time (he was easily picking up words of a new language within 10mins). I guess that applies to many of the things accomplished by some autistic people, what if we all head photographic memory at ease and other such amazing feats of the mind...
I also found it alarming how quickly I found it enticing to perform "The forbidden experiment" of isolating a child from birth with no outside influence for learning speech, to see how it would develop. It is of course impossibly cruel but the intrigue just makes you stop for a moment.

swedishfriendsays...Haven't watched this yet but it would seem to me that all animals have language in some version. Ours is just the most complex in the abstract sense. Other animals may be able to communicate with finer detail on a less abstract level but I haven't seen the studies on that.
