The way language as a human faculty has evolved is a question that
preoccupies researchers from a wide spread of disciplines. In this
book, a team of writers has been brought together to examine the
evolution of language from a variety of such standpoints, including
language's genetic basis, the anthropological context of its
appearance, its formal structure, its relation to systems of
cognition and thought, as well as its possible evolutionary
antecedents. The book includes Hauser, Chomsky, and Fitch's seminal
and provocative essay on the subject, 'The Faculty of Language, '
and charts the progress of research in this active and highly
controversial field since its publication in 2002. This timely
volume will be welcomed by researchers and students in a number of
disciplines, including linguistics, evolutionary biology,
psychology, and cognitive science
