"How can infinite language be generated from a finite mind? How could language have evolved from apes? How could apes have evolved from protozoa? How could protozoa have evolved from rocks? In a highly readable series of thought experiments, the first half of How the Brain Evolved Language retraces the steps by which Darwinian evolution selected first one-celled animals which could communicate among themselves, and then multicelled organisms which could communicate within themselves."--BOOK JACKET.
"The second half of How the Brain Evolved Language explores the particular ways in which universal evolutionary designs - universal minimal neural networks - have been adapted for human language."--BOOK JACKET.
