	This will be the third conference in a series concerned
	with the evolutionary emergence of speech. From a wide
	range of disciplines, we seek to attract researchers
	willing to integrate their perspectives with those of
	modern Darwinism.

	The aim is to bring together linguists, computer scientists,
	anthropologists, palaeontologists, ethologists, geneticists,
	neuroscientists, and other scientists who are concerned with
	the question of the origin and evolution of language.
