About the Authors

There is a growing view that intelligence evolved as a product of social interdependence. The unique development of human intelligence was probably linked to the use of spoken language, but language itself evolved in the context of social interaction, and in its development it has shaped - and been shaped by - social institutions. Taking as their starting-point the social production of intelligence and of language, scholars across a range of disciplines are beginning to rethink fundamental questions about human evolution, language and social institutions. This volume brings together anthropologists, linguists, primatologists and psychologists, all working on this new frontier of research.
- Highly original study of human evolution, language and social institutions
- Explores the subject from the perspective of different scholars from across a wide range of disciplines
- Editor is previous Press author and the contributors are all well-known and highly respected in their own fields
