The Cradle of Language
Rudolf Botha and Chris Knight
Studies in the Evolution of Languages
This book is the first to focus on the African origins of human language. It explores
the origins of language and culture
250,000-150,000
years ago when modern humans
evolved in Africa. Scholars from around the world address the fossil, genetic, and
archaeological evidence and critically examine the ways it has been interpreted. The book
also considers parallel developments among Europe s Neanderthals and the contrasting
outcomes for the two species. Following an extensive introduction contextualizing and
linking the book s topics and approaches, fifteen chapters bring together many of the
most significant recent findings and developments in modern human origins research.
The fields represented by the authors include genetics, biology, behavioural ecology,
linguistics, archaeology, cognitive science, and anthropology.
Rudolf Botha is Emeritus Professor of General Linguistics at the University of
Stellenbosch
and Honorary Professor of Linguistics at Utrecht University. His books include Form and
Meaning in Word Formation: A Study of Afrikaans Reduplication (CUP
1988)
and Unravelling
the Evolution of Lanouaie
(Elsevier
loot).
Chris Knight is Professor of Anthropology at the University of East London. His
publications include Blood Relations: Menstruation and the Origins of Culture (Yale UP
1995).
