A fascinating and incisive examination of our language instinct
from award-winning science writer Steven Mithen. Along with the
concepts of consciousness and intelligence, our capacity for
language sits right at the core of what makes us human. But while
the evolutionary origins of language have provoked speculation and
impassioned debate, music has been neglected if not ignored. Like
language it is a universal feature of human culture, one that is a
permanent fixture in our daily lives. In THE SINGING NEANDERTHALS,
Steven Mithen redresses the balance, drawing on a huge range of
sources, from neurological case studies through child psychology
and the communication systems of non-human primates to the latest
paleoarchaeological evidence. The result is a fascinating and
provocative work and a succinct riposte to those, like Steven
Pinker, who have dismissed music as a functionless and unimportant
evolutionary byproduct.
