SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"The Making of Language presents an alternative to the prevalent view of language as the product of human genetics. It argues instead that language originated in the cooperative activity of early humans. 'We made language, as we made pots and pans.' Mike Beaken shows how early forms of communication developed in step with technology, culture and social organisation. This edition considers also the significance of music in relation to other forms of communication." --Back cover
