Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. In a stimulating synthesis of cognitive science, anthropology, and linguistics, Philip Lieberman tackles the fundamental questions of human nature: How and why are human beings so different from other species? Can the Darwinian theory of evolution explain human linguistic and cognitive ability? How… do our processes of language and thought differ from those of Homo erectus 500,000 years ago, or of the Neanderthals 35,000 years ago? What accounts for human moral sense? Lieberman believes that evolution for rapid, efficient vocal communication forged modern human beings by creating the modern human brain. Earlier hominids lacked fully human speech and syntax, which together allow us to convey complex thoughts rapidly. The author discusses how natural selection acted on older brain mechanisms to produce a structure that can regulate the motor activity necessary for speech and command the complex syntax that enhances the creativity of human language. The unique brain mechanisms underlying human language also enhance human cognitive ability, allowing us to derive abstract concepts and to plan complex activities. These factors are necessary for the development of true altruism and moral behavior. Lieberman supports his argument about the evolution of speech and the human brain by combining the comparative method of Charles Darwin, insights from archaeology and child development, and the results of high-tech research with computerized brain scanning and computer models that can recreate speech sounds made by our ancestors over 100,000 years ago. Uniquely Human will stimulate fresh thought and controversy on the basic question of how we came to be. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Softcover. Zustand: Fine. Abnutzung / Risse - leicht. In a stimulating synthesis of cognitive science, anthropology, and linguistics, Philip Lieberman explores fundamental questions of human nature: How and why are humans distinct from other species? Can Darwinian evolution explain our linguistic and cognitive abilities? He exam…ines how our language and thought processes differ from those of earlier hominids like *Homo erectus* and Neanderthals. Lieberman argues that evolution for rapid vocal communication shaped modern humans by developing the modern brain. Earlier hominids lacked the speech and syntax necessary for conveying complex thoughts swiftly. He discusses how natural selection influenced older brain mechanisms to create structures that regulate speech and enable complex syntax, enhancing language creativity. These unique brain mechanisms also boost cognitive abilities, allowing for abstract thinking and complex planning, which are essential for true altruism and moral behavior. Lieberman supports his claims by integrating Darwin's comparative method, insights from archaeology and child development, and advanced research techniques, including computerized brain scanning and models that recreate ancient speech sounds. This exploration will provoke fresh thought and debate on how humanity evolved.
