Today, astronomers agree that in the coming decades&#8211;perhaps within some of our lifetimes&#8211;we will discover alien life in some form. But if it ends up being intelligent, will humankind be capable of communicating with them? To know the answer to this begs further questions about the origins of language, and how that relates to the development of consciousness.<\/p>\n<p>Joining us for a deep discussion about this is Samuel Zinner Ph.D., a multidisciplinary scholar of languages and history who has lectured in the recent past on the origins of language. Zinner, also a lover of science fiction, muses about how understanding language and its relationship to consciousness might also aid us in understanding how alien life&#8211;and even intelligent extraterrestrials&#8211;might develop, and if discovered, how we might be able to successfully interact with them. We discuss everything from how communication with aliens might occur, to how language and myth are related to the subject of unidentified aerial phenomena on this edition of <em>The Micah Hanks Program.<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gralienreport.com\/x\">The story doesn&#8217;t end here&#8230; become an X Subscriber and get access to even more weekly content and monthly specials.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Enjoy\u00a0<em>The Micah Hanks Program<\/em>? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.micahhanks.com\/shows\/\">Check out Micah&#8217;s other podcasts here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.buytwowayradios.com\/micah\">This week&#8217;s episode is brought to you by our friends at BuyTwoWayRadios.com.<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><em>Supporting our sponsors is one way you can support this show.
