Evolution and origin of language

[Herb Stahlke]

A couple of places you might check:

Cambridge Anthropological Journal 8;1 (1998) has a group of articles collected
under the heading "The Origins of Speech".  Larry Trask does a nice job of
setting the tone for these with an attempt at a consensus linguistic position.

Terrence W. Deacon's The Symbolic Species, published by Norton (1997), deals
with some of the anthropological issues but goes into considerable depth in
biology, neurology, evolution, semiotics, etc.

I have a question which is fairly offtopic, about the evolution and
origin of language.
