Language is difficult to develop because it requires the simultaneous co-evolution of: - Social structures & collaborative behavior - Environmental complexity (technology, etc) - Brain power - Physical ability to transfer information over a high-bandwidth channel (e.g. voice)https://twitter.com/ikonoklast/status/1233835252709285889 …
Any of these things can become a bottleneck. In fact, many unrelated species have developed forms of quasi-language, though nowhere near as advanced as that of humans, as they were bottlenecked by e.g. cognitive capabilities or environmental/social complexity.
This is also why the evolution of language is a very, very slow process. These factors are all interacting with each other, enabling or restricting the others -- a new factor becoming the new bottleneck whenever progress is made on one front. This is absolutely *co-evolution*.
It's a very skewed distribution (one species is 10^x times more complex, the rest are close to the bottom). That indicates the process relies on a non-linear combination of factors.
What about Denisovan, Neanderthal and other yet to be discovered archaic humans? There could be multiple species in the past that has this capabilities but somehow went extinct
To that end, I have been studying how neural networks can be used to help us understand the songs of the humpback whale.
Results?
Why haven't humans faced these bottlenecks?
