Carroll&#8217;s (editor) collection of essays by Benjamin Lee Whorf (1897-1941 AD), published in 1956 under the title,&nbsp;<em>Language, Thought and Reality<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To me, this implies that &#8220;thought&#8221; has transubstantiated into &#8220;versus&#8221;.&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>The substance of the word<\/em>&nbsp;has changed, so to speak.&nbsp;&nbsp;The word, &#8220;versus&#8221;, derives from the same root as the word, &#8220;adversary&#8221;.&nbsp;&nbsp;So, if &#8220;thought&#8221; once used to nominally stand between &#8220;language&#8221; and &#8220;reality&#8221;, then today, &#8220;thought&#8221; is confounded with &#8220;adversary&#8221;, and that might serve as&nbsp;<em>a hint concerning the nature of our adversity<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps, this is not&nbsp;<em>the only notable feature of the title<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then again, a book titled,&nbsp;<em>Language, Adversary and Reality,<\/em>&nbsp;might not fly off the shelves in feel-good book-outlets.&nbsp;&nbsp;It is not as if, next to the&nbsp;<em>Self-Help&nbsp;<\/em>section, there is a&nbsp;<em>Come To Grips With Your Doom<\/em>&nbsp;section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, expect me to play with the title throughout this examination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0844 Another notable feature of this book, at least to me, is that the author is not acquainted with Razie Mah&#8217;s re-articulation of human evolution, in three masterworks,&nbsp;<em>The Human Niche, An Archaeology of the Fall&nbsp;<\/em>and&nbsp;<em>How To Define the Word &#8220;Religion&#8221;<\/em>&nbsp;(available at smashwords and other e-book venues).&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>The evolution of talk<\/em>&nbsp;is not the same as&nbsp;<em>the evolution of language<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>Language<\/em>&nbsp;evolves in&nbsp;<em>the milieu of hand talk<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;Plus,&nbsp;<em>the evolution of talk<\/em>&nbsp;comes with the twist, humorously called,&nbsp;<em>&#8220;the first singularity&#8221;<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, Enfield&#8217;s work serves as a marker for the twilight of&nbsp;<em>the Age of Ideas<\/em>&nbsp;and the dawning of&nbsp;<em>the Age of Triadic Relations<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0845 Okay, let me dwell on the idea that&nbsp;<em>the evolution of language<\/em>&nbsp;is not the same as&nbsp;<em>the evolution of talk<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Comments on Michael Tomasello&#8217;s Arc of Inquiry (1999-2019)<\/em>&nbsp;(by Razie Mah, available at smashwords and other e-book venues, and also, for the most part, appearing in Razie Mah&#8217;s blog for January, February and March, 2024) divides&nbsp;<em>the evolution of talk<\/em>&nbsp;in the following manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.raziemah.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Slide01-4.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.raziemah.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Slide01-4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8212\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.raziemah.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Slide01-4.png 600w, https:\/\/www.raziemah.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Slide01-4-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>0846 The first period starts with the divergence of the chimpanzee and human lineage (7 million of years ago) and ends with the bipedalism of the so-called &#8220;southern apes&#8221; (around 3.5 to 4 million years ago).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the second period, australopithecines adapt to mixed forest and savannah by adopting the strategy of obligate collaborative foraging.&nbsp;&nbsp;Eventually,&nbsp;<em>Homo erectus<\/em>&nbsp;figures out&nbsp;<em>the controlled use of fire,<\/em>&nbsp;leading to&nbsp;<em>the domestication of fire,<\/em>&nbsp;starting (perhaps) around 800 thousand years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The third period, lasts from&nbsp;<em>the domestication of fire<\/em>&nbsp;to&nbsp;<em>the earliest appearance of anatomically modern humans<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;During this period,&nbsp;<em>hand talk<\/em>&nbsp;becomes fully linguistic,&nbsp;<em>religion<\/em>&nbsp;evolves as an adaptation to large social circles (of 150 individuals and more) and hominins use&nbsp;<em>the voice&nbsp;<\/em>for&nbsp;<em>synchronization during seasonal mega-band and occasional tribal gatherings<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;Then, sexual selection does the rest and the voice comes under&nbsp;<em>voluntary neural control<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0847 The fourth period starts when the voice, now under voluntary control, joins hand-talk, resulting in&nbsp;<em>a dual-mode way of talking, hand-speech talk<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>Hand talk<\/em>&nbsp;retains the iconicity and indexality that grounds reference in&nbsp;<em>things that can be pictured or pointed to<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;But, speech adds&nbsp;<em>a symbolic adornment,<\/em>&nbsp;which starts as a sing-along and ends up taking a life of its own.&nbsp;&nbsp;Four centuries ago,&nbsp;<em>the North American Plains Indians<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>the Australian aborigines<\/em>&nbsp;still practiced&nbsp;<em>hand-speech talk, with full fledged sign and verbal languages<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;Now, their hand-speech talk is all but dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0848 That death, along with&nbsp;<em>the demise of all hand-speech talking languages,<\/em>&nbsp;comes (and came) due to&nbsp;<em>exposure to speech-alone talk,<\/em>&nbsp;which has significantly different semiotic qualities than hand-talk and hand-speech talk.&nbsp;&nbsp;Hand-talk is iconic and indexal.&nbsp;&nbsp;The referent precedes the gestural word.&nbsp;&nbsp;Speech-alone talk is purely symbolic.&nbsp;&nbsp;The spoken word labels &#8216;something&#8217;, and sometimes that &#8216;something&#8217; cannot be imaged or indicated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, it must be real because speech-alone talk provides a label for an explicit abstraction!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0849 Here is a picture of the transition labeled, &#8220;the first singularity&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.raziemah.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Slide02-4.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.raziemah.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Slide02-4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8213\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.raziemah.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Slide02-4.png 600w, https:\/\/www.raziemah.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Slide02-4-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>0850 Consider the words, &#8220;language&#8221;, &#8220;adversary&#8221;
