I got a new book! I’m reading The singing Neanderthals: The origins of music, language, mind, and body by Steven Mithen (2005). I’ll be posting some of the fun things I learn as I go!
The book is from 2005, so some of the research is a little out of date, but it still looks like a great book! For example, we now know that Neanderthals had the FOXP2 gene, which is associated with language abilities in humans.
