In this forcefully argued book, the leading evolutionary theorist of language provides a framework for studying the evolution of human language and cognition. Philip Lieberman asserts that the widely influential theories of language’s development are inconsistent with principles and findings of evolutionary biology and neuroscience.

本书系统地提出了一种不同于乔姆斯基观点的语言演变理论，把生物学和语言学的一些不同的立场整合在一起，旨在实践一种综合功能主义的主张。书中不仅大量吸收了社会语言学的理论和方法，而且吸收了功能一类型学派的语言演变理论的思路，并将这些理论较好地整合在以广义选择理论为基础的语句选择理论之中。 本书具有强烈的理论意识与熟练的理论建构套路，与国内汉语历史语言学研究的朴实风格形成了鲜明的对比，可以为汉语的历时研究提供一个可供借鉴的理论模型
