Mithen describes fire as a "social hub" that brought people together. What is the modern equivalent of the fire in our lives? What brings people together for deep conversation today?, If you had to explain the relationship between fire, the brain, and genetics to someone who hasn't read the book, how would you summarise it in two or three sentences?, We learned that language is distributed across a network of brain regions — not in one single place. Does this change how you think about learning or teaching a language? Why or why not?, What question about language evolution would you most like to see answered in the remaining chapters of the book?, What is the most important takeaway from Chapters 10-12 for you personally — as a teacher, a learner, or simply a human being?
