This book traces the evolutionary trajectory of language and
teaching from the earliest periods of human evolution to the
present day. The author argues that teaching is unique to humans
and our ancestors, and that the evolution of teaching, language,
and culture are the inextricably linked results of gene-culture
coevolutionary processes. Drawing on related fields including
archaeology, palaeontology, cultural anthropology, evolutionary
psychology and linguistics, he makes the case that the need for
joint attention and shared goals in complex adaptive strategies is
the underlying driver for the evolution of language-like
communication. This book will be of interest to students and
scholars of these disciplines, as well as lay readers with an
interest in human origins.
