The tree of languages

Discover the unity behind the linguistic diversity of the planet.

There are 6,000+ human languages. But language is also a single thing: all humans have it, and it's a shared property that unites us rooted in a species-specific brain. But what is this brain like?

Talking Brains aims to exhibit our brain from the point of view of its linguistic functions: a scientific approach to language that stresses its psychological and biological constitution and its indissoluble link with neuroscience, genetics, anatomy, or human evolution.

Our focus is on creating experiences, incite the imagination, and send out a message of what language means for us, and how it connects to our biology.
