Drawing on the author's breakthrough research, THE SYMBOLIC SPECIES presents an entirely new explanation of our unique language ability. Language evolved in only one species and in only one way - without precedent and without parallel. Terrence Deacon asserts that language evolution did not require the sudden appearance of a specialized language instinct, nor the development of more complex brains. Instead, language reflects a new kind of thinking: symbolic thinking.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Human language is one of the most distinctive behavioural adaptations on the planet. Languages evolved in only one species, in only one way, without precedent, and without parallel. Hundreds of millions of years of evolution have produced hundreds of thousands of species with brains, and tens of thousands with complex learning abilities. Only one of these has ever wondered about its place in the whole scheme, because only one - through its language - evolved with the ability to do so. This book aims to alter the understanding of what it means to be human: "the universe isn't a soulless, blindly spinning clockwork, but instead nascent hear and mind". The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Codice articolo GOR001688316
