How and why did we evolve from
language-less apes to speaking humans?
Who were the first speakers, what did
they talk about, and in what language?
Join Sverker Johansson, linguist and
author of The Dawn of Language: How
We Came to Talk, as he explains how we
can go beyond speculation about these
questions and trace how our first spoken
communications evolved into the full
diversity of human language today.
