The experiment should be broad enough to encompass many demographic variables, and be done over time to validate the results.
Part 4 - Language is the human capacity for using complex systems for communication. This may be through verbal, visual, or written means. Scholars disagree about the origin of language, but it is likely that it evolved through a necessity for humans to need to learn from each other and remember techniques and events that would allow them to survive. Syntax, or the way in which we put sounds together to form words, then words to other concepts, is hierarchical in nature. From an evolutionary perspective, it would focus on the issues for survival and procreation of the social unit. The labeled-line theory would tell us that each portion of the language is focused on a very specific...
The across-fiber pattern system focuses on patterns, and the way stimuli are put together to form meaning. Thus, it is likely that language is across-fiber pattern since, unlike many primitive languages that are less complex (subject, verb, object), language evolved into complex patterns that have divergent meanings that require interpretation.
Part 5 -- If a new chemical had no odor, humans could still likely detect it based on the unconscious notion of pheromones in the substance. This could be sensed through the skin, other mucus membranes, or simply be sensed by the brain. There are a number of receptors that "sense" chemicals outside the nose.

Ecologically, human hearing was needed to communicate better in order to survive; higher ranges of hearing have no real genetic advantage because it does not help humans to find food, shelter, or to communicate with one another. In addition, being able to localize sounds (friend or foe) would be essential and usually those sounds occur under 20,000 Hz (rustling of leaves, breaking of branches, etc.) (pp. 193-4). 2. The text
The function of myth in social cultures is explored by Mary Barnard in her the Mythmakers in which she investigates the origins of ritual in folklore, history, and metaphor. In addressing such a wide scope of material, she came to the conclusion that the origins of many mythical personas/deities related to a single familiar theme: intoxication (4). Her discoveries became offshoots of CG Jung's definition of mythology: Myths are original revelations of
