We present a new road map for research on "How the Brain Got Language" that adopts an EvoDevoSocio perspective and highlights comparative neuroprimatology-the comparative study of brain, behavior and communication in extant monkeys and great apes-as providing a key grounding for hypotheses on the last common ancestor of humans and monkeys (LCA-m) and chimpanzees (LCA-c) and the processes which guided the evolution LCA-m -> LCA-c -> protohumans -> H. sapiens. Such research constrains and is constrained by analysis of the subsequent, primarily cultural, evolution of H. sapiens which yielded cultures involving the rich use of language.

Abstract
We present a new road map for research on "How the Brain Got Language" that adopts an EvoDevoSocio perspective and highlights comparative neuroprimatology-the comparative study of brain, behavior and communication in extant monkeys and great apes-as providing a key grounding for hypotheses on the last common ancestor of humans and monkeys (LCA-m) and chimpanzees (LCA-c) and the processes which guided the evolution LCA-m -> LCA-c -> protohumans -> H. sapiens. Such research constrains and is constrained by analysis of the subsequent, primarily cultural, evolution of H. sapiens which yielded cultures involving the rich use of language.File in questo prodotto:
