A Brain for Speech A View from Evolutionary Neuroanatomy

“This book presents an ambitious combination of evolution and neuroscience applied to language development. … A curated bibliography and subject/author indexes round out the scholarly apparatus; overall, a compelling exploration that merges psychology, neurology, linguistics, and evolutionary biology. … Recommended. Graduate students, researchers, faculty, and professionals.” (J. A. Mather, Choice, Vol. 56 (1), September, 2018)






“This book is dense in up-to-date factual information. … Aboitiz indicates that the book is intended primarily for undergraduates and graduate students, the detailed content would be intimidating to most students. It is more appropriate for use as a reference source by researchers and other specialists interested in language.” (James W. Kalat, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 62 (49), December, 2017)
