Krátky popis
'A tour de force' Alice Roberts'Wonderful ... A remarkably
comprehensive biography of the single most important thing we all
share - language' Robin DunbarThe relationship between language,
thought and culture is of concern to anyone with an interest in
what it means to be human. The Language Puzzle explains how the
invention of words at 1.6 million years ago began the evolution of
human language from the ape-like calls of our earliest ancestors to
our capabilities of today, with over 6000 languages in the world
and each of us knowing over 50,000 words.Drawing on the latest
discoveries in archaeology, linguistics, psychology, and genetics,
Steven Mithen reconstructs the steps by which language evolved, he
explains how it transformed the nature of thought and culture, and
how we talked our way out of the Stone Age into the world of
farming and swiftly into today's Digital Age. While this radical
new work is not shy to reject outdated ideas about language, it
builds bridges between disciplines to forge a new synthesis for the
evolution of language that will find widespread acceptance as a new
standard account for how humanity began.
