Drawing on "living linguistic fossils" such as "ape talk," the "two-word" stage of small children, and pidgin languages, and on recent discoveries in paleoanthropology, Bickerton shows how a primitive "protolanguage" could have offered Homo erectus a novel ecological niche. He goes on to demonstrate how this protolanguage could have developed into the languages we speak today."You are drawn into [Bickerton{\textquoteright}s] appreciation of the dominant role language plays not only in what we say, but in what we think and, therefore, what we are."{\textemdash}Robert Wright, New York Times Book Review"The evolution of language is a fascinating topic, and Bickerton{\textquoteright}s Language and Species is the best introduction we have."{\textemdash}John C. Marshall, Nature</p>
