Description
In the early 1890s, the theory of evolution gained an unexpected ally: the Edison phonograph. This title charts scientific controversies over the evolution of language from Darwin's day onwards, resurrecting the forgotten debts of psychology, anthropology, and other behavioral sciences to the Victorian debate about animal roots of human language.
