The book is an introduction to the interdisciplinary study of the evolution of the language. In recent decades, linguists, anthropologists, neurobiologists, genetics, evolutionary biologists and scientists of other specialties are working on this problem. Many large achievements obtained in this area by scientists of a different profile are summarized in this book into a single system of explanations within the framework of the directions offered by the author, which it means both "biolinguistics".
At the same time, according to the author, the book does not claim to resolve the existing contradictions and does not give final answers to the painful questions. It provides an overview of all existing hypotheses and outlined a variety of information necessary for further synthesis of knowledge available. The final conclusion, to which the text of the book leads, is that none of the proposed models, taken by itself, is not able to give a complete explanation of the evolution of the language and only a weighted association of positive ideas taken from several scenarios can serve as a basis for successful theory. .
The book will be interested in readers of the widest range - from specialists of various cognitive disciplines to students and senior schoolchildren
