Funded Activity Summary

From signs to symbols: language, mind and niche. Humans use language but our closest relatives - the great apes - do not. Language is immensely valuable to us, so there is a deep puzzle about our evolution. This project investigates how and why humans alone acquired language, in the light of new ideas about human evolution.
