Certain words do not exist in other languages, like "culture" in Yucatec Maya. Without a proper noun for, it's simply explained as all those things that men learn and teach.


An interesting article published in the Ruperto Carola magazine Nr. 15 on Dec 2019 by @uniheidelbergdelves more into nature and culture on an interview with Prof. Winkler (medical ethicist) and Prof. Roth (environmental physics). On the other hand, Dr. @erich_d_jarvis(neuroscientist) explains us about speech, music and language on the podcast #87 of the @hubermanlab, and how only vocal learning species can dance. Wow and thank you :)


Native languages tend to be more poetic and descriptive. Those of you interested in learning Yucatec Maya will find a course and dictionary published by the Yucatan university @uady_institucional on their website, even online classes.
