This documentary is part of the BBC Horizon series, exploring the uniquely human ability to "speak." Speaking, a trait that distinguishes us from animals and defines us as human, remains a mystery to this day. When you speak, it feels effortless and natural, so much so that you might not even notice its existence. In reality, it requires thousands of thoughts and decisions; "speaking" is not as simple as you might imagine. Although linguistic guru Noam Chomsky points out that our ability to speak is innate, where does "language" or the ability to "speak" come from, and how does it develop? In this film, you will see three different sets of tests and experiments: a father records how his son learns to speak in his first three years, a person with autism who can speak over 20 languages, and the first scientist to discover the speaking gene. Moreover, you will also see how a new language is born. The Horizon series is a popular and long-running science documentary produced by the BBC, first aired on May 2, 1964, with 49 series and over 1,100 episodes as of 2013. This documentary series provides a platform for the world's greatest scientists and philosophers to share their views and perspectives on various topics, including history, culture, religion, geography, design, art, biology, philosophy, environmental issues, and ethics, introducing their new insights into our everyday knowledge.
