That's right. And dogs and we get along great. Um, it's the cultural technology that's fundamentally changed who we are. So, uh, The first big one, of course, was the language, which has made us the language ape, but we're not the language ape per se at all.

This is a cultural product of this evolution, cultural evolution, co-evolving, not co-evolving, just evolving for us to plug into our brains and give us language when we never had one. harnessing object event systems to make it so that we can suddenly communicate with one another. And then music is evolving to the sounds of human movement recognition systems.

And then much more recently, writing evolving, culturally evolving, just to look like natural objects allowing us to read. All of these things are exactly who we take to be human today, but none of this is our human 1.0 selves.

So I feel like this is a โ so, for example, typically for language, you've got two sides. You've got โ and they're gorillas, like Steven Pinker and Chomsky. Chomsky's been on and off of this for years. But roughly, you've got the language instinct folks โ That we've evolved over millions of years or hundreds of thousands of years to evolve to really have a language instinct.
