In-depth educational content on a wide range of topics. Research done with the help of artificial intelligence, and presented by two AI-generated hosts. Why use artificial intelligence? Minimum production time and cost per episode. The breadth of expert knowledge communicated exceeds by far what human hosts and guests could typically convey in a podcast format. Unlike traditional Text-to-Speech (TTS) services, the experimental AI powering the virtual hosts develops an independent understanding of the input information before generating speech. While the resulting voices do not match the quality of those produced by services like ElevenLabs, the AI’s ability to generate dynamic dialogues between two virtual hosts is a distinctive feature. However, it can occasionally misinterpret the correct vocal tone. Apologies for the occasional virtual hosts with inconsistent speeds and volumes. The podcast player app Overcast, with its Voice Boost feature, is helping. Some episodes refer to the provided sources or text. These are the deep research analysis provided to the AI managing the virtual hosts. Available on Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, Boomplay, Castbox, Castro, Deezer, iHeart, Overcast, Player FM, Pocket Casts, Podbean, Podchaser, Spotify and others.

The provided text explores the complex, mosaic evolution of human language, drawing on anatomical, neurological, and genetic evidence. It explains how the human vocal tract's unique structure, including the descended larynx and hyoid bone, developed over millions of years, enabling precise speech. The text also discusses neurological changes, such as the reorganization of brain areas like Broca's and Wernicke's, and the genetic underpinnings of language, shifting from a focus on FOXP2 as a "language gene" to understanding a network of genes that regulate brain development. Finally, it synthesizes these lines of evidence to suggest a gradual timeline of linguistic capabilities in hominins, including Neanderthals, and briefly touches upon the gestural origins hypothesis as a complementary model for language emergence.
