Fascinating article probes the origins of language.

This one comes from the New York Times, and was forwarded to me by my lovely mother:

  1. I really liked that article, though the last tidbit about extinct animals due to modern humans was a little shocking. I didn't think we had started killing stuff off until much more recently...
    Thanks for posting!

  2. M.G. Pereira, thanks for your comment. I think the possible role of the modern human species in animal extinctions is still being debated in the scientific community, but that was obviously the implication they were going for.
