Recenzii
“Using a brilliant collection of data from different fields, this book provides novel insights into the emergence and evolution of language. It is a solid contribution to the literature and a must read for anyone interested in language evolution. … this book by Progovac is a worthwhile addition to the body of knowledge, one that I enjoyed reading and one that stimulated my thinking about language evolution in new and hopefully productive ways.” (Majid Manoochehri, Evolutionary Psychological Science, Vol. 7, 2021)

Did Neanderthals have some form of language? Did language evolve gradually and incrementally, through stages, or suddenly, in one leap, in all its complexity? Does language evolution involve natural selection or not?
