Description
SPEECH! How Language Made Us Human by Simon R. Prentis is an enthralling exploration of what makes us human.
The power of language has been a game-changer for our species, allowing us to share ideas and pass on knowledge in ways that no other animal can. Yet, despite its significance, the origins of language remain a mystery. This book suggests that the key to understanding how we developed language lies in a simple yet radical shift in our communication.
From hunter-gatherer societies to modern urban cultures, SPEECH! takes us on a journey through the epic tale of humanity's struggle to escape the constraints of culture, religion and identity. A thought-provoking read that challenges our understanding of what it means to be human.
