The hominid tool-language connection: Some missing evolutionary links?
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 18 (1):199-200 (1995)
Abstract
This commentary criticizes Wilkins & Wakefield's thesis that the neurological precursors of language provide a cognitive Rubicon to linguistically divide human from nonhuman primates. A causal model of their theory is presented, followed by a discussion of the relationship between brain expansion and tool use, Broca's area and the parietaloccipital-temporal junction (POT)Other Versions
