On May 30th, 2017, during a CBMM Research Talk, Noam Chomsky shared insight into his latest book, “Why Only Us: Language and Evolution” (co-authored with Robert C. Berwick) where they discuss the biolinguistic perspective on language, which views language as a particular object of the biological world; the computational efficiency of language as a system of thought and understanding; the tension between Darwin’s idea of gradual change and our contemporary understanding about evolutionary change and language; and evidence from nonhuman animals, in particular vocal learning in songbirds.

I love how he is saying that machine learning will never be able to understand language

Chomsky's only weakness was that he did not understand the evolution of language because he never learnt how to read the tracks of humans and other animals.....which we were learning to do 3.7 million years ago....what about forgets about incremental encephalization and human evolution, development of sign and click languages, whistle languages.....based on the teleological or narrative structure of reality.
