Yuval Noah Harari

“the truly unique feature of our language is not its ability to transmit
information about men and lions. Rather, it’s the ability to transmit information
about things that do not exist at all. As far as we know, only Sapiens can talk
about entire kinds of entities that they have never seen, touched or smelled.”
