"Lingua ex Machina" explores the evolutionary origins of language, bridging the gap between Darwinian evolution and Chomskyan linguistics. Through a unique dialogue between a neurophysiologist and a linguist, the book challenges the notion of language as a standalone instinct. Instead, it proposes that language is the result of various developments, including cooperation mechanisms that predate humanity. The book investigates the neural basis of language, how it emerges in individuals, and its connection to cognitive evolution. It presents innovative hypotheses about how the brain processes language and forms sentences. It offers a fresh perspective on the language origins debate, appealing to anyone interested in the evolution of mind, language, and intelligence.
