‘This Marvelous Invention’

I. Of all mankind’s manifold creations, language must take pride of place. Other inventions -the wheel,
o
agriculture, sliced bread – may have transformed our material existence, but the advent of language is what
made us human. Compared to language, all other inventions pale in significance, since everything we have
m

ever achieved depends on language and originates from it. Without language, we could never have embarked
on our ascent to unparalleled power over all other animals, and even over nature itself.
de

II. But language is foremost not just because it came first. In its own right it is a tool of extraordinary
sophistication, yet based on an idea of ingenious simplicity: ‘this marvellous invention of composing out of
twenty-five or thirty sounds that infinite variety of expressions which, whilst having in themselves no
ith

likeness to what is in our mind,allow us to disclose to others its whole secret, and to make known to those
who cannot penetrate it all that we imagine, and all the various stirrings of our soul’ This was how, in 1660,
the renowned French grammarians of the Port-Royal abbey near Versailles distilled the essence of language,
and no one since has celebrated more eloquently the magnitude of its achievement. Even so, there is just one
frw

flaw in all these hymns of praise, for the homage to languages unique accomplishment conceals a simple yet
critical incongruity. Language is mankind s greatest invention – except, of course, that it was never invented.
This apparent paradox is at the core of our fascination with language, and it holds many of its secrets.
ce

III. Language often seems so skillfully drafted that one can hardly imagine it as anything other than the perfected
handiwork of a master craftsman. How else could this instrument make so much out of barely three dozen
measly morsels of sound? In themselves, these configurations of mouth p,f,b,v,t,d,k,g,sh,a,e and so on –
@

amount to nothing more than a few haphazard spits and splutters, random noises with no meaning, no ability
to express, no power to explain. But run them through the cogs and wheels of the language machine, let it
arrange them in some very special orders, and there is nothing that these meaningless streams of air cannot
do: from sighing the interminable boredom of existence to unravelling the fundamental order of the universe.

IV. The most extraordinary thing about language, however, is that one doesn’t have to be a genius to set its
wheels in motion. The language machine allows just about everybody from pre-modern foragers in the
subtropical savannah, to post-modern philosophers in the suburban sprawl – to tie these meaningless sounds
together into an infinite variety of subtle senses, and all apparently without the slightest exertion. Yet it is
precisely this deceptive ease which makes language a victim of its own success, since in everyday life its
 triumphs are usually taken for granted. The wheels of language run so smoothly that one rarely bothers to
stop and think about all the resourcefulness and expertise that must have gone into making it tick. Language
conceals art.

V. Often, it is only the estrangement of foreign tongues, with their many exotic and outlandish features, that
brings home the wonder of languages design. One of the showiest stunts that some languages can pull off is
an ability to build up words of breath-breaking length, and thus express in one word what English takes a
whole sentence to say. The Turkish word çehirliliçtiremediklerimizdensiniz, to take one example, means
nothing less than ‘you are one of those whom we can’t turn into a town-dweller’. (In case you were

4
wondering, this monstrosity really is one word, not merely many different words squashed together – most

40
ol its components cannot even stand up on their own.)

VI. And if that sounds like some one-off freak, then consider Sumerian, the language spoken on the banks of the

68
Euphrates some 5,000 years ago by the people who invented writing and thus enabled the documentation of
history. A Sumerian word like munintuma’a (‘when he had made it suitable for her’) might seem rather trim
compared to the Turkish colossus above. What is so impressive about it, however, is not its lengthiness but
rather the reverse – the thrifty compactness of its construction. The word is made up of different slots, each

30
corresponding to a particular portion of meaning. This sleek design allows single sounds to convey useful
information, and in fact even the absence of a sound has been enlisted to express something specific. If you
were to ask which bit in the Sumerian word corresponds to the pronoun ‘it’ in the English translation ‘when
he had made it suitable for her’, then the answer would have to be nothing. Mind you, a very particular kind
90
of nothing: the nothing that stands in the empty slot in the middle. The technology is so fine-tuned then that
even a non-sound, when carefully placed in a particular position, has been invested with a specific function.
Who could possibly have come up with such a nifty contraption?

Bring back the big cats

ith

It’s time to start returning vanished native animals to Britain, says John Vesty

There is a poem, written around 598 AD, which describes hunting a mystery animal called a llewyn. But what
frw

was it? Nothing seemed to fit, until 2006, when an animal bone, dating from around the same period, was found
in the Kinsey Cave in northern England. Until this discovery, the lynx – a large spotted cat with tasselled ears –
was presumed to have died out in Britain at least 6,000 years ago, before the inhabitants of these islands took up
farming. But the 2006 find, together with three others in Yorkshire and Scotland, is compelling evidence that the
lynx and the mysterious llewyn were in fact one and the same animal. If this is so, it would bring forward the
ce

tassel-eared cat’s estimated extinction date by roughly 5,000 years.

However, this is not quite the last glimpse of the animal in British culture. A 9th-century stone cross from the Isle
of Eigg shows, alongside the deer, boar and aurochs pursued by a mounted hunter, a speckled cat with tasselled
@

ears. Were it not for the animal’s backside having worn away with time, we could have been certain, as the lynx’s
stubby tail is unmistakable. But even without this key feature, it’s hard to see what else the creature could have
been. The lynx is now becoming the totemic animal of a movement that is transforming British environmentalism:
rewilding.
Rewilding means the mass restoration of damaged ecosystems. It involves letting trees return to places that have
been denuded, allowing parts of the seabed to recover from trawling and dredging, permitting rivers to flow freely
again. Above all, it means bringing back missing species. One of the most striking findings of modern ecology is
that ecosystems without large predators behave in completely different ways from those that retain them. Some
of them drive dynamic processes that resonate through the whole food chain, creating niches for hundreds of
species that might otherwise struggle to survive. The killers turn out to be bringers of life.
Such findings present a big challenge to British conservation, which has often selected arbitrary assemblages of
plants and animals and sought, at great effort and expense, to prevent them from changing. It has tried to preserve
the living world as if it were a jar of pickles, letting nothing in and nothing out, keeping nature in a state of arrested
development. But ecosystems are not merely collections of species; they are also the dynamic and ever-shifting
relationships between them. And this dynamism often depends on large predators.
At sea the potential is even greater: by protecting large areas from commercial fishing, we could once more see
what 18th-century literature describes: vast shoals of fish being chased by fin and sperm whales, within sight of
the English shore. This policy would also greatly boost catches in the surrounding seas; the fishing industry’s
insistence on scouring every inch of seabed, leaving no breeding reserves, could not be more damaging to its own

4
interests.
Rewilding is a rare example of an environmental movement in which campaigners articulate what they are for

40
rather than only what they are against. One of the reasons why the enthusiasm for rewilding is spreading so
quickly in Britain is that it helps to create a more inspiring vision than the green movement’s usual promise of
‘Follow us and the world will be slightly less awful than it would otherwise have been.’
The lynx presents no threat to human beings: there is no known instance of one preying on people. It is a specialist

68
predator of roe deer, a species that has exploded in Britain in recent decades, holding back, by intensive browsing,
attempts to re-establish forests. It will also winkle out sika deer: an exotic species that is almost impossible for
human beings to control, as it hides in impenetrable plantations of young trees. The attempt to reintroduce this

30
predator marries well with the aim of bringing forests back to parts of our bare and barren uplands. The lynx
requires deep cover, and as such presents little risk to sheep and other livestock, which are supposed, as a condition
of farm subsidies, to be kept out of the woods.
On a recent trip to the Cairngorm Mountains, I heard several conservationists suggest that the lynx could be
90
reintroduced there within 20 years. If trees return to the bare hills elsewhere in Britain, the big cats could soon
follow. There is nothing extraordinary about these proposals, seen from the perspective of anywhere else in
Europe. The lynx has now been reintroduced to the Jura Mountains, the Alps, the Vosges in eastern France and
the Harz mountains in Germany, and has re-established itself in many more places. The European population has
o
tripled since 1970 to roughly 10,000. As with wolves, bears, beavers, boar, bison, moose and many other species,
the lynx has been able to spread as farming has left the hills and people discover that it is more lucrative to protect
m

charismatic wildlife than to hunt it, as tourists will pay for the chance to see it. Large-scale rewilding is happening
almost everywhere – except Britain.
Here, attitudes are just beginning to change. Conservationists are starting to accept that the old preservation-jar
de

model is failing, even on its own terms. Already, projects such as Trees for Life in the Highlands provide a hint
of what might be coming. An organisation is being set up that will seek to catalyse the rewilding of land and sea
across Britain, its aim being to reintroduce that rarest of species to British ecosystems: hope.

de

The growth of bike-sharing schemes around the world

The original idea for an urban bike-sharing scheme dates back to a summer’s day in Amsterdam in 1965. Provo,
the organisation that came up with the idea, was a group of Dutch activists who wanted to change society. They
ith

believed the scheme, which was known as the Witte Fietsenplan, was an answer to the perceived threats of air
pollution and consumerism. In the centre of Amsterdam, they painted a small number of used bikes white. They
also distributed leaflets describing the dangers of cars and inviting people to use the white bikes. The bikes were
then left unlocked at various locations around the city, to be used by anyone in need of transport.
frw

Luud Schimmelpennink, a Dutch industrial engineer who still lives and cycles in Amsterdam, was heavily
involved in the original scheme. He recalls how the scheme succeeded in attracting a great deal of attention —
particularly when it came to publicising Provo’s aims — but struggled to get off the ground. The police were
opposed to Provo’s initiatives and almost as soon as the white bikes were distributed around the city, they removed
ce

them. However, for Schimmelpennink and for bike-sharing schemes in general, this was just the beginning. ‘The
first Witte Fietsenplan was just a symbolic thing,’ he says. ‘We painted a few bikes white, that was all. Things
got more serious when | became a member of the Amsterdam city council two years later.’
Schimmelpennink seized this opportunity to present a more elaborate Witte Fietsenplan to the city council. ‘My
@

idea was that the municipality of Amsterdam would distribute 10,000 white bikes over the city, for everyone to
use,’ he explains. ‘| made serious calculations. It turned out that a white bicycle — per person, per kilometre —
would cost the municipality only 10% of what it contributed to public transport per person per kilometre.’
Nevertheless, the council unanimously rejected the plan. ‘They said that the bicycle belongs to the past. They saw
a glorious future for the car,’ says Schimmelpennink. But he was not in the least discouraged.
Schimmelpennink never stopped believing in bike-sharing, and in the mid-90s, two Danes asked for his help to
set up a system in Copenhagen. The result was the world’s first large-scale bike-share programme. It worked on
a deposit: ‘You dropped a coin in the bike and when you returned it, you got your money back.’ After setting up
the Danish system, Schimmelpennink decided to try his luck again in the Netherlands — and this time he
succeeded in arousing the interest of the Dutch Ministry of Transport. ‘Times had changed,’ he recalls. ‘People
had become more environmentally conscious, and the Danish experiment had proved that bike-sharing was a real
possibility.’ A new Witte Fietsenplan was launched in 1999 in Amsterdam. However, riding a white bike was no
longer free; it cost one guilder per trip and payment was made with a chip card developed by the Dutch bank
Postbank. Schimmelpennink designed conspicuous, sturdy white bikes locked in special racks which could be
opened with the chip card — the plan started with 250 bikes, distributed over five stations.
In Amsterdam today, 38% of all trips are made by bike and, along with Copenhagen, it is regarded as one of the
two most cycle-friendly capitals in the world — but the city never got another Witte Fietsenplan. Molenaar
believes this may be because everybody in Amsterdam already has a bike. Schimmelpennink, however, cannot

4
see that this changes Amsterdam’s need for a bike-sharing scheme. ‘People who travel on the underground don’t
carry their bikes around. But often they need additional transport to reach their final destination.’ Although he

40
thinks it is strange that a city like Amsterdam does not have a successful bike-sharing scheme, he is optimistic
about the future. ‘In the 60s we didn’t stand a chance because people were prepared to give their lives to keep
cars in the city. But that mentality has totally changed.
