About this book
A prominent neuroscientist argues that human language—though more sophisticated than all other forms of animal communication—is not a qualitatively different ability from all forms of animal communication, it does not require a quantum evolutionary leap to be explained, and it is not unified in a single “language instinct.”
Reviews
This is a thoughtful and scholarly book that is bound to expand the horizons of any...well-educated layperson or student who would like a brief review of this dynamic multidisciplinary field that encompasses neurology, primate studies, anthropology, psychology, and of course linguistics.
