How the Brain Evolved Language (Paperback)

How can the human brain generate an infinite number of sentences? Why can humans use language while other primates cannot? Using hard neurological, biological and mathematical evidence, Donald Loritz tries to answer some of our fundamental questions about the origins of language and explore what the answers might tell us about the nature of the human brain. His conclusions go against conventional wisdom in that they contradict theories of innateness proposed by Steven Pinker and others.
