Editorial Reviews
Ingram
What Dunbar suggests--and what his research confirms--is that humans developed language to serve the purpose that grooming served, but far more efficiently. From the nit-picking of chimpanzees to our chats at coffee breaks, from neuroscience to paleoanthropology, this book offers a provocative view of what makes humans human. 5 illustrations.
