How Language Began
At the time of its publication, How Language Began received high acclaim for capturing the fascinating history of mankind’s most incredible creation. Deemed a “bombshell” linguist and “instant folk hero” by Tom Wolfe (Harper’s), Daniel L. Everett posits that the near- 7,000 languages that exist today are not only the product of one million years of evolution but also have allowed us to become Earth’s apex predator. Tracing 60,000 generations, Everett debunks long- held theories across a spectrum of disciplines to affi rm the idea that we are not born with an instinct for language. Woven with anecdotes of his nearly forty years of fi eldwork amongst Amazonian hunter- gatherers, this is a “completely enthralling” (Spectator) exploration of our humanity and a landmark study of what makes us human.

Everett’s amiable tone, and especially his captivating anecdotes . . . , will help the neophyte along.”— New York Times Book ReviewThe book, How Language Began: The Story of Humanity's Greatest Invention [Bulk, Wholesale, Quantity] ISBN#9781631496264 in Paperback by Daniel L.
