John says all of this means that the voice is becoming more and more of a tool for those things that drive evolution.

Like asserting dominance, fighting off rivals, showing affection, wooing mates.

The voice starts communicating basic emotions.

And the other thing is that mammals.

The way that their young feed is on.

Mammary glands.

A breast.

That's new with mammals.

is an amazing system of muscles in the mammalian face and throat and tongue.

And so if you're an animal with a big complex brain, John says you can start doing things like... Hitting the tongue against the back of the teeth for tuh and duh.

Popping the lips for puh.

Or holding them closed for a mmm.

Or you can start making ha, he, he.

Vowel sounds.

It's literally the posture and shape of the tongue.

It's over 400 million years.

From diaphragm to lungs.

To that valve.

That open and closable slit.

With all its little folds.
