The Biology and Evolution of Language

Review

This book will surely become mandatory reading for those engaged in studying language, whether from biological, linguistic, psycholinguistic, developmental or evolutionary directions...[for] Lieberman succeeds in integrating all these levels and clarifying their mutual relevance. (Bulletin of the British Psychological Society)

This is a fascinating and provocative book...The facts are presented clearly, thereby making this text accessible to a wide and diverse audience (Medical Anthropology Quarterly)
