2020 The comparative neuroprimatology 2018 (CNP-2018) road map for research on How the Brain Got Language How the Brain Got Language – Towards a New Road Map, Arbib, Michael A. (ed.), pp. 370–387 | Chapter
We present a new road map for research on “How the Brain Got Language” that adopts an EvoDevoSocio perspective and highlights comparative neuroprimatology – the comparative study of brain, behavior and communication in extant monkeys and great apes – as providing a key grounding for hypotheses on… read more
2020 Plasticity, innateness, and the path to language in the primate brain: Comparing macaque, chimpanzee and human circuitry for visuomotor integration How the Brain Got Language – Towards a New Road Map, Arbib, Michael A. (ed.), pp. 54–69 | Chapter
Many researchers consider language to be definitionally unique to humans. However, increasing evidence suggests that language emerged via a series of adaptations to neural systems supporting earlier capacities for visuomotor integration and manual action. This paper reviews comparative… read more
