Summary:
The current wave of research activity on the evolution of cognition is rooted, both historically and intellectually, in the question of how human language evolved. But scientific progress on this question has been stalled in a debate about whether the question can even be broached. Breaking this deadlock, The Evolution of Communication addresses the problems of how communication systems, including language, have been designed over the course of evolution.
