<b>Lecture at CalTech 21.11.1993 (introduction by Skeptic founder Dr.Michael Shermer) </b>

Dr. Diamond, physiologist at the UCLA Medical School and author of the best selling <i>The Third Chimpanzee</i> and <i>Guns, Germs, and Steel</i>, presents his controversial theory that it was language that triggered the “Great Leap Forward” about 35,000 years ago that led to human culture and set us apart from Neanderthals, who went extinct shortly thereafter. A brilliant and masterful lecture by one of the greatest scientists of our generation.
