This book discusses evolution of the human brain, the origin of
speech and language. It covers past and present perspectives on the
contentious issue of the acquisition of the language capacity.
Divided into two parts, this insightful work covers several
characteristics of the human brain including the language-specific
network, the size of the human brain, its lateralization of
functions and interhemispheric integration, in particular the
phonological loop. Aboitiz argues that it is the phonological loop
that allowed us to increase our vocal memory capacity and to
generate a shared semantic space that gave rise to modern language.
The second part examines the neuroanatomy of the monkey brain,
vocal learning birds like parrots, emergent evidence of vocal
learning capacities in mammals, mirror neurons, and the ecological
and social context in which speech evolved in our early ancestors.
This book's interdisciplinary topic will appeal to scholars of
psychology, neuroscience, linguistics, biology and history.
