Abstract
What can neurobiology contribute to our understanding of the evolution of human language? A discussion led by Prof. William Marslen-Wilson (Department of Psychology).
The session takes our discussions of modern human evolution in a new direction by considering a key human characteristic, language, and looking at its neurobiological underpinnings. We will also explore how these may be visible in the past.
