WakingTimes – Peter Russell – The Roots Of Thinking – 22 June 2013
Much of our thinking takes the form of self-talk—conversations we have with ourselves, inside our minds.
Clearly, the original root of this verbal thinking is speech. Speech gave humans the ability to communicate with each other, share experiences, learn from each other, and amass a collective body of knowledge. Using verbal language within our own minds brought many new abilities, including the abilities to rehearse what we might say to another, to recall past conversations, and to plan future actions.
