Email on the Quirks and Quarks on Canada's public broadcaster
This week we kick off a new season of Quirks & Quarks with a provocative documentary on Language and Thought. Which came first - words or concepts? And does the language we speak influence the way we think? Some scientists believe that vocabulary actually shapes and limits our ability to understand or conceive certain concepts and ideas. But many researchers disagree. We'll look at both sides of this heated scientific debate.
Plus - we'll get all the poop on how burrowing owls use decorative dung to decoy their dinner.
All this and more on Quirks & Quarks, Saturday right after the noon news on Radio One.
This can be streamed from:
Live Radio | CBC Listen
pick a city in your time zone or earlier to stream the show.
