Leading primatologists, cognitive scientists, anthropologists, and linguists consider how language evolution can be understood by means of inference from the study of linked or analogous phenomena in language, animal behaviour, genetics, neurology, culture, and biology.
To what extent is human nature genetically determined, and does the acceptance of evolutionary theory as the basis for social behaviour diminish our humanity? In this book, Edward Wilson argues that science offers us true liberation.
