Imagine a World Without Words

[The Magic Pudding]

It’s almost impossible to imagine a world without words. But in this hour of Radiolab, we try to do just that.

The persons account of losing her language centre was interesting.
I've long thought a lack of language or even a self invented one would be very limiting.
I wonder how animals with some language and multilingual humans fit in.
