| Byrne presents an outstanding summary of the research tracing the roots of human intelligence. He begins by noting the problem of describing the evolution of human intelligence from fossil remains. Thoughts don't leave fossils, but many "popular" accounts of human evolution are full of speculations about the development of human cognition. The stories presented, according to Byrne, are frequently contradictory. What is the careful reader able to believe? Byrne accepts the necessity of competing speculations. ... Read More: |

| This is probably the most insightful and intelligent book I have ever read - I was looking for easy answers as to why, in this world of increased information and knowledge about other's suffering, we continue to accept it or deny it or ignore it. Professor Cohen does not give easy answers: he challenges you to both accept some bottom-line truths, but also not to be passive and separate from those who are suffering. He is incredibly knowledgeable, but writes in an accessible style that draws you in ... Read More: |

| Burling's relatively short volume is very readable, non-technical attempt to mark a path looking at real world forces in connection with the evolution of speech. Centrally, and without bold claims, he stresses the importance of cognitive evolution proceeding physiological evolution: shared meaning, and the understanding of intention must proceed more sophisticated communication practices. He repudiates the position of those who believe in the necessity of rapid phological evolution: again, as ... Read More: |

| In his search for the answer to the intelligence in nature and in an attempt to disprove Descartes' dictum ("I think, therefore I am"), an anthropologist Jeremy Narby wrote this intriguing and an easy-to-read book, which outlined his journey. And, he also included endnotes, which do indeed make an interesting read.
Throughout the book, the two subjects that most intrigues me are the plant communications and transformation in butterflies. An interesting thing about plants is the fact from this book ... Read More: |

| It is an exciting time when another compilation on the subject of language evolution edited by the likes of Simon Kirby and Morten Christiansen comes along. This volume, like its predecessors, is packed with musings by the full spectrum of leading contemporary theorists and investigators in the "field" of language evolution. Yes, it is technical (reflecting the field's growing maturity and sophistication) and readers may benefit from at least a passing acquaitance with some of the directions apparent in the field, ...
