An accessible exploration of a burgeoning new field: the incredible evolution of language The first popular book to recount the exciting, very recent developments in tracing the origins of language, The First Word is at the forefront of a controversial, compelling new field. Acclaimed science writer Christine Kenneally explains how a relatively small group of scientists that include Noam Chomsky and Steven Pinker assembled the astounding narrative of how the fundamental process of evolution produced a linguistic ape?in other words, us. Infused with the wonder of discovery, this vital and engrossing book offers us all a better understanding of the story of humankind.

First Word: The Search for the Origins of Language | Christine Kenneally

#TBRtemptation post 1! A compelling quest by an accomplished linguist to discover the origins of human language. There's 2 narratives in this book. The first is how random and layered processes of evolution produced us, talking animals. The second narrative addresses scientists evnetually taking language evolution seriously as a discipline. She looks at the work of Chomsky, Pinker, biologists, animal researchers, etc. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎
