Speaking Our Minds: Why human communication is different, and how language evolved to make it special
Thom Scott-Phillips
And what can an evolutionary perspective tell us about the nature of language and communication? Drawing on a range of disciplines including cognitive science, linguistics, anthropology and evolutionary biology, Speaking Our Minds explains how language evolved and why we are the only species to communicate in this way.
