About PROTOLANG:

The Protolang conference series creates an interdisciplinary platform for
scholarly discussion on the origins of symbolic communication distinctive of
human beings. The thematic focus of Protolang is on delineating the genetic,
anatomical, neuro-cognitive, socio-cultural, semiotic, symbolic and ecological
requirements for evolving (proto)language. Sign use, tools, cooperative
breeding, pointing, vocalisation, intersubjectivity, bodily mimesis, planning
and navigation are among many examples of such possible factors through which
hominins have gained a degree of specificity that is not found in other forms
of animal communication and cognition. We aim at identifying the proximate and
ultimate causes as well as the mechanisms by which these requirements evolved;
evaluating the methodologies, research tools and simulation techniques; and
enabling extended and vigorous exchange of ideas across disciplinary borders.
