What is the key to human development? Zain concludes that it is the mere concept of Language. Zain expertly illustrates how the source of human progress delves into the complex interplay between etymology and anthropology, demonstrating the reasons for our rule over this world. Zain is an A Level student interested in neuroscience and linguistics, and he is particularly interested in the study of language in the brain as well as the relationship between language, identity and culture. His love for languages and cultures has led him to study Arabic, Mandarin and French at GCSE level and he continues to study languages in his spare time. He currently studies Biology, Chemistry, Maths and French at A Level. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
