How the Brain Got Language: The Mirror System Hypothesis

The "How the Brain Got Language" book is a groundbreaking exploration of the evolution of language, revealing how our brain's mirror neurons enabled us to learn and use language.

This theory provides a path from primate gestures to complex imitation, pantomime, protosign, and finally to protospeech.

The book explains why humans are capable of learning sign languages and how cultural evolution took over from biological evolution in the transition from protolanguage to fully fledged languages.

With a highly readable style, this book provides all the necessary background in primatology, neuroscience, and linguistics, making it accessible to a general audience.
