00:00:00.000 Now, I say, I have difficulty to show why I feel that this step is quite an almost impossible
00:00:22.600 The gap to be bridged is so wide from 2 to 3 for morning to description.
00:00:40.520 The point is that we moved from something instinctive, which is still present when I speak
00:00:51.880 with my hands, from something instinctive to something deliberate, something full of thought,
00:01:03.360 something for seeing, and to a state that is very important where it is possible to lie.
00:01:19.160 We can see that a dancing bee indicating where the food is to the other bees, a dancing
00:01:36.600 It can be misled by a scientist who is building up a river, a parade who is to mislead
00:01:50.120 We come to a place where we have the freedom to speak the truth or to tell a story which
00:02:03.920 Now that I think constitutes a very wide gap to be bridged in the evolution from warning
00:02:13.520 cries to storytelling, now descriptive talk is not a perfected warning cry.
00:02:26.640 That is one way to see better and better and better warning cries.
00:02:33.120 We never get away from a situation where there happens something, we react to it, instinctively
00:02:41.920 with the warning cries that can reach all perfection and it never gets to the relaxed
00:02:53.760 telling of a story, perhaps lying, perhaps to a new machinery in the brain is needed for
00:03:02.760 this new step and why is it needed I have tried not to explain as good as I can, it isn't
00:03:10.840 very good by showing that it cannot be a process of perfection of a machinery which is already
00:03:25.960 Because in my opinion it is specifically human language for future entirely new function
00:03:37.080 and for this new function in the brain machinery is required.
00:03:45.960 I think that shows very fine insight into the real basis of how many loose the brain.
00:03:57.080 It was not just the increase of the chimpanzee to the human of about three and a half times
00:04:04.960 More chimpanzee brain doesn't give you the opportunity for human speech, it only gives
00:04:12.400 It has to be something new came into the brain, a new development of the brain and this
00:04:19.520 development came in in certain areas can be seen where language came but also music and
00:04:28.040 spatial relations but more importantly the frontal areas here in the front of our brain.
00:04:36.520 This is the really big human development where you get all of the fast performances, the
00:04:43.840 memories, the ideals, the creativity, the imagination, all of these great human qualities
00:04:50.720 which are all linguistic, they all based upon language.
00:05:00.640 Human members learn by a kind of wild imitation of the old.
00:05:12.160 I mean I always like especially young cats when they rush about like wild and eat everything
00:05:22.280 which they can get the teeth in but that is all kind of imitation of the more understandable
00:05:35.200 behavior of the old cats and it does these things in preparation for functions in
00:05:43.880 let us see in the real life which comes later to the cat and we can say that the same thing
00:05:58.640 Now I would propose that in play in let us see play acting of the children, the youth,
00:06:15.520 the warning guys in a playful way and this is already removed from the instructive youth
00:06:26.400 of the warning in the situation to which the warning guy fits in the fitting situation.
00:06:37.200 Let us take the cry wolf, the children would try to threaten each other with the cry wolf
00:06:49.120 and would set up a play where they would play as being afraid of the wolf who is afraid
00:06:57.520 of the big bad wolf that is the game which the children play and the cry wolf would play
00:07:10.680 Now this children's game in a certain way has already or those difficult properties which
00:07:25.240 the descriptive language has compared with the signaling language, it is not something which
00:07:38.160 refers to a real situation now but only to an image situation which can just as well
00:07:46.640 play be played five minutes later or an hour later and so on it is not really released
00:07:55.400 by a real situation but it is released by an image in situation and it has actually to do
00:08:08.280 something even but unconscious yet with planning, namely it is planning for the later
00:08:20.240 with serious who is she doing, can I break in her moment, I think that what you are trying
00:08:26.440 to say is this is a dramatic performance, it is a simple drama and in fact in all drama
00:08:34.080 we are doing just that, all drama is putting on a description of something that did happen
00:08:42.080 in the past that can be useful in the future but full of meaning for us now.
00:08:48.000 Exactly, exactly that is what I mean, there is something in our stage three in the descriptive
00:08:59.560 language which is similar related similar to signal language as drama is related to the real
00:09:11.920 drama of life, so my hypothesis of course unfortunately untestable hypothesis, my hypothesis
00:09:25.400 is that through children's playing was really of course slowly the transition made from
00:09:37.920 the mere signal function of language to let us see the dramatic function of language
00:09:44.640 and through the dramatic function of language then we come to this let us see somewhat
00:09:53.080 unreal way in which we may talk over the coffee table or in this case work table which
00:10:01.040 we can speak theoretical and perhaps quite relaxed about the greatest dangers in the world
00:10:09.880 I think that is testing possible because we have to always think the language came to
00:10:18.360 each one of us to each child in a somewhat analogous way to the evolution of language
00:10:27.120 in homology evolution, each child we can study how do they learn to use language in
00:10:33.840 a descriptive manner from just a signaling manner because a baby uses a language only
00:10:40.720 for signaling and for expression in a child we are interested in language for description
00:10:47.800 and question and so I think you could study in detail that scientifically the whole
00:10:56.600 procedure is all that children I'm sure that it's an important challenge of course
00:11:10.920 we are all selves we all know what that means but the baby is born as a self of course
00:11:22.360 it needs a long period for let us see waking up fully and in this waking up process as we
00:11:35.480 have already said both walking and language especially place a very great war especially
00:11:47.600 language for the consciousness that it is a self comes to the baby more or less it's the same
00:11:58.000 time when it begins to refer to itself by the same speaking of itself as I and only then
00:12:11.840 has you realized that others are selves and that it uses a realization is obviously very
00:12:23.240 closely connected pointed it asks so many questions it asks about its immediate happenings
00:12:31.480 that surround and the others and so on so this is the bad baby establishing itself has
00:12:39.040 a self through language question and the description and argument of course especially
00:12:51.120 with the asking of a question it is clear that very much depends on the way in which it
00:12:59.760 is loved they can see usually in which its questions are taken seriously and answered in which
00:13:11.600 the church can see that its question has been answered and that is a very great task for
00:13:21.000 the family very difficult because the questions and easily answered the questions go to the
