Life Story: Parts 5, 6 and 7, section B

I started writing this on the 23rd of May, 2026, it is now the 7th of August I intend to divide it up into section A, B, C and "additional notes" I’m still working on it. It needs so much work. This part (section B is actively a work in progress, not even a draft. But it's getting there).

Along with standing upright so that we could see one another's faces while we talked. The face-to-face talkers out competed the non-talkers and survived better and longer to reproduce. And that is how we became who we were. Perhaps the big difference between us and the monkeys is we have conversations and talk to one another properly, in language. We just formed really, really different ways of relating to one another. Difference humans and hominids. It's actually software and hardware. ** Google: What is the difference between hominids and humans? The main difference...
