Curious Saturday: Evolution in words
What does the story of language tell us about evolution?
In his TED Talk, Richard Dawkins explores how language evolves much like species do — shaped by variation, selection, and adaptation over time. Just as genes carry biological information, words and ideas act as cultural “memes,” passing through generations and transforming as they go. It’s a fascinating reminder that our words are living things — constantly evolving, reshaping culture, and carrying forward human creativity.
