'When Eve Laughed: The origins of language'
"Why, out of 220 primate species, are we the only one which talks? Laughter, too, is unique to our species. Although different from language, collective, contagious laughter may have set the scene for words + grammar to evolve by establishing the necessary bonds of trust. In addition to the latest archaeological research, this talk will draw on hunter-gatherer studies to show how men learn to communicate with birds and beasts and how women use laughter as a levelling device."

Radical Anthropology Talks

What it means to be human: evolution, action, resistance

Watch this extraordinary film by #BruceParry and RAG's #JeromeLewis on #BaYaka #huntergatherer gender relations. From 5:30 to 8 mins in this video, there's a precious sequence of women's #Ngoku ritual. Women don't just seize public space, they seize the collective means of #reproduction

Young Ngoku initiates come swaggering in, singing, dancing, incredibly rude about men's bits: ' Cunts win, pricks are useless!. They appropriate male ORGANS -- sugar-cane tubes used to accurately mine premature ejaculation. The grannies have taught them how to do it!

Image is showing a children's ceremonial 'massana' called Bolu. The boys have escorted a spirit from the forest and the girls are singing beautifully to lure it into the camp under the verdant trees. Grown ups enjoy the spectacle sitting in front of their huts.
