Zusammenfassung

Language is central to our lives, the cultural tool that arguably sets us apart from other species. Some scientists have argued that language is innate, a type of unique human 'instinct' pre-programmed in us from birth. In this book, Evans argues that this received wisdom is, in fact, a myth.
