Why We Speak So Many Languages

Text us a question or any feedback [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2407119/fan_mail/new] Close your eyes and imagine hearing 7,000 different ways to say "hello." That's actually how many languages exist on Earth today. There's even a story that long ago, everyone on Earth spoke the same language... until one day, they didn't. Was it a myth? Or is there real science behind it?  In this episode of I Wonder, 13-year-old Alva asks one of the biggest questions about being human: why do we have so many languages? Join us on a journey from the very first human sounds and gestures to today's global mix of tongues — with a stop at the Tower of Babel, a language with 74 letters in its alphabet, and a German word so long it would take you days to say it out loud.

Are Cats Really Afraid of Water?

Text us a question or any feedback [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2407119/fan_mail/new] Ever wonder why your cat watches in disgust from the windowsill while your dog belly-flops into the nearest puddle?  In this episode, we answer a question from Blake in Tulsa, Oklahoma, who noticed his cats want nothing to do with water while his dog treats every sprinkler like a water park.  We trace thousands of years of animal history — from the sun-baked deserts where domestic cats first evolved, to the icy waters that shaped swimming dogs like the Newfoundland — to explain why your pets feel so differently about water. Fun, fascinating, and packed with surprises, this one is for every pet lover who's ever been curious about their furry friends. Written by Zach Margiotta What's Your Wonder?
