New confirmation evidence of my theory on the origins of language
🚨 BREAKING SCIENCE
My third book, HARNESSED: How Language and Music Mimicked Nature and Transformed Ape to Man, made the case against Chomsky and Pinker that we never evolved to have language, but, instead, language culturally evolved to fit us.
Namely, language evolved to sound like natural events among solid objects, thereby harnessing our ancient auditory event recognition abilities for language.
A new paper provides some confirming evidence for my theory. More exactly, it provides disconfirming evidence that the “morphological evolution observed in the bony auditory region of fossil hominins was driven by the emergence of spoken language.”
“Auditory thresholds compatible with optimal speech reception likely evolved before the human-chimpanzee split”
