In the latest book in the series, editor Nicholas Wade and several award-winning journalists from The New York explore the mysterious roots of language. Their coverage ranges from the efforts to chronicle ancient languages to the examination of fossil records to determine whether Neanderthals had language, and around the evolutionary bend to the study of chimpanzees and their ability to 'talk' using sign boards to convey fear, hunger, and their deceptive sense of humor.
