  • Summary

  • In this episode, we explore the Cognitive Revolution, a transformative period around 70,000 years ago that reshaped human history. We discuss how the emergence of complex language enabled our ancestors to communicate, collaborate, and forge social bonds, allowing them to unite in large groups through shared myths and stories. This newfound capacity for abstract thought set Homo sapiens apart from other species, laying the groundwork for trade, religion, and social hierarchies. Join us as we unravel the profound impact of these cognitive developments on the trajectory of civilization and their relevance to our modern world. Don’t miss it!
