Terrence Deacon, University of California, Berkeley
V.S. Ramachandran, University of California, San Diego

Emphasis was placed on the functional uniqueness of these attributes, as opposed to the anatomical uniqueness, and whether these attributes are indeed quantitatively or qualitatively unique to humans.
