And so part of the reason I travel the world is to have unique novel experience and to see things in a different way. And sometimes when you watch like a Kubrick or a Tarantino movie, he's just seeing something in such a pure way. Yeah. It's incredible.

Every dog came from a wolf. It does strike me as like, it's a very strange thing how long humanity has been here and how recently... like 10,000 years ago in northern Japan was the first settlement and how quickly things have progressed.

Yeah, that thing of like the gratitude, like the idea that you go, how have you only got to this now? Like the idea that you go, well, actually, taking care of that Maslow's hierarchy of need. You know, so you need food, you need shelter, you need like, we haven't even, I mean, we haven't even covered that for most of humanity.

But certainly in the place that we live, that's all sort of taken, we factor all that in. That's all like, okay, you've got all of that sorted in. And then we get to self-actualize and we get to specialize. And so maybe it's that thing of like, I don't know, the breaking of the tribes and the idea of specialization. It's the Dunbar number is the important thing, isn't it?

Because the great apes, so Robert Dunbar is the guy that had that idea of, it often comes up when people talk about social media. How many friends can you have? With great apes, they get to a pod of about 60 people. And then they go, I don't really know that guy. He hasn't really groomed me in a long time. So I did this documentary once for the BBC with Robert Dunbar.

He was incredible. How old was he at the time? I guess 60s. He's not that old. So his theory was kind of, well, actually what happened that allowed human beings to specialize was remote grooming.

So the idea that we could be in a large group and our language allowed us to have a larger group, like 150 friends in the group, because we didn't have to pick things out of each other's hair or literally groom each other.

Yeah. But that was the great innovation because it allowed us to go, okay, look, I'm going to go and build this thing. You go and do that thing. We'll come together. And obviously, you know, language predates speech by... a million years, millions of years. Laughter predates speech by about a million years, they think.
