Last speaker - Child's ability to recollect & to project forward starts at about 5 years old. That's interesting.
When did early humans evolve ability to do this? Language dramatically increases power of this. Presumably requires self awareness. As soon as have this ability, knowledge becomes codified & artefacts appear?
Scientific notions of time derive in first instance from psychological, but get objectified.
