The linguists and the structural anthropologists are united in the suspicion that the origin of human speech and of human society may have been equivalent events. Lévi-Strauss's books reflect his conviction that communication is the sine qua non of society, and that speech is only one of many ways by which society explicates itself.

Basing their estimates on the distribution and radioactive dating of these tek- tites, scientists had long assumed that the meteorite weighed a few thousand tons and struck about 700,000 years ago. While he was examining sediment cores taken from more widely separated locations on the floors of the Indian and Pacific oceans, Geologist Glass discovered tiny tektites, apparently from the same meteorite.
