Abstract:
This paper shows how computational modeling of the macaque brain may ground hypotheses on the brain of LCA-m (the last common ancestor of monkey and human) and elaborations thereof on the path from a mirror system for manual action to a "language-ready brain" in Homo sapiens.Keywords: Action Pattern Reorganization; Computational comparative neuroprimatology; Imitation; Language evolution; Mirror System Hypothesis; Mirror Systems; Modeling cerebellum; Speech evolution
