Evolutionary Genomics and the Emergence of Human Language

Multidisciplinary study beginning with Darwin's transmutation of species and Victorian arguments of human language beginnings to modern genetic and genomic research helps re-create how human language has evolved and how linguists outline these beginnings and trace modern languages' differences. Readings will show the breadth of this topic and include academic research in evolutionary theory, anatomy, modern genetic and genomic research, and linguistics and linguistic theory.
