Why We Talk: The Evolutionary Origins of Language - Studies in the Evolution of Language
Dessalles, Jean-Louis (, Associate Professor at the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Telecommunications, Paris)
Explores the co-evolutionary paths of biology, culture, and the great human edifice of language, linking the evolution of the language to the general evolutionary history of humankind. This book provides answers to such fundamental paradoxes as to whether we acquired our greatest gift in order to talk or so as to be able to think, and more.
