Peter Slen Gannons Author

Author of book on language and culture is asked by Peter Slen "Doesn't Noam Chomsky write about this, too?"  The author instantly goes into a canned tirade saying he has claims proved Chomsky wrong, and that he has claims language comes from "millions of years" of culture.  I can tell he's wrong, or, at least, deceptive, because humans and modern language have existed for roughly 150-200 thousands of years.  It emerged rather quickly, during or around the last inter-glacial.
