Completely changed my worldview. Evolutionary processes every where. My (turrible) recollection: Darwinian processes for comprehending speech, the process of translating sounds into phenomes (?).

My paraphrasing: meme PvP F4A battlefield where "winning" means converting your neighbor to your faction. Speculation about the human brain leaped from proto-language (noun-verb) to Chomsky language (recursively composable noun-verb-object predicates). Further speculation how that might be encoding in our brains. Etc.
