Comparative studies on brain asymmetry date back to the 19th century but then largely
disappeared due to the assumption that lateralization is uniquely human. Since the …

The evolution of the faculty of language largely remains an enigma. In this essay, we ask
why. Language's evolutionary analysis is complicated because it has no equivalent in any …

A neurobiological model of language is discussed that overcomes the shortcomings of the
classical Wernicke-Lichtheim-Geschwind model. It is based on a subdivision of language …
