语言不是一项发明，它是与智人协同进化出来的。关于目前语言起源理论的最新前沿（state of the art），我强烈推荐《符号物种》。http://www.amazon.com/The-Symbolic-Species-Co-Evolution-Lang...
Language isn't an invention, it's co-evolved with Homo Sapiens. I highly recommend The Symbolic Species for the current state of the art in language origin theories. http://www.amazon.com/The-Symbolic-Species-Co-Evolution-Lang...
My favorite theory of the origin of language: http://www.amazon.com/The-Symbolic-Species-Co-evolution-Lang.... It unfolds a bit like a murder mystery, so I won't spoil the ending for you. If the middle section seems a bit of a slog -- persevere!
The Symbolic Species by Terrence Deacon--specifically its containment heirarchy framed logic. Made much more explicit in his second text, Incomplete Nature.
…读读进化心理学（EvPsych）方面的文献，看看科学界是怎么论证的。我自己了解得不够深，没法张口就引用论文之类的。另一本探讨人类大脑进化影响因素的书是特伦斯·迪肯（Terrence Deacon）的《符号物种》（The Symbolic Species），http://www.amazon.com/Symbolic-Species-Co-Evolution-Language... “答案是模因（meme）。简短的原因在于：模因的进化速度比基因快得多得多，所以一旦它们出现，…

关于语言起源我最喜欢的理论出自：http://www.amazon.com/The-Symbolic-Species-Co-evolution-Lang.... 整本书展开得像部谋杀悬疑小说，所以我就不给你剧透结局了。如果中间那部分读起来有点像在啃硬骨头——坚持住！
