Scientific evidence for the origin of speech is abundant, but
evidence for the origin of language as separate from speech as a
naming system remains speculative. What evidence can be utilized
that will furnish relevant insights on the origin or language? This
book attempts to provide an answer by suggesting that the first
riddles of humanity, along with the first myths, reveal that
language may have emerged as a mode of reflection via metaphor-a
mode that involves blending speech forms together to produce
complex, abstract cognition.
