This documentary is part of the BBC Horizon series, exploring the unique human ability to "speak." Speaking, a trait that distinguishes us from animals and defines us as human, remains a mystery. When you talk, it feels effortless and so natural that you often don’t even notice it. In reality, it requires thousands of thoughts and decisions; "speaking" is not as simple as you might think. Although linguistic father Noam Chomsky pointed out that our ability to speak is innate, where does "language" or the ability to "speak" come from, and how is it formed? In this film, you will see three different sets of tests and experiments: a father recording how his son learned to speak during his first three years, an autistic individual who speaks over 20 languages, and the first scientist to find the speaking gene. Furthermore, you will witness how a new language is born. The Horizon series documentaries produced by the BBC are a popular and long-running scientific documentary series that first aired on May 2, 1964, with 49 series and over 1,100 episodes by 2013. This series provides a platform for the world's greatest scientists and philosophers to share their views and perspectives across various topics including history, culture, religion, geography, design, art, biology, philosophy, environmental issues, and ethics, bringing their new insights into our daily knowledge.
