Here the past was everywhere, an entire continent sown with memories

To build an adult vocabulary of 60,000 words, children must learn an average of 10 to 20 words per day between the ages of 18 months and 18 years. Often these words are learned through a single exposure: an adult points to a bassoon and says "that's a bassoon" just once, and the child knows the word forever after. Human children are word-sponges. By contrast, even the brightest chimps in ape language experiments require at least 20 to 40 exposures before they learn the meaning of a visual sign. One has to do the equivalent of saying "bassoon, bassoon, bassoon" over and over until it loses all meaning to a human and acquires one for the chimp.
