{"product_id":"the-kingdom-of-speech-1","title":"The Kingdom of Speech","description":"The maestro storyteller and reporter provocatively argues that what we think we know about speech and human evolution is wrong.\n\nTom Wolfe, whose legend began in journalism, takes us on an eye-opening journey that is sure to arouse widespread debate. The Kingdom of Speech is a captivating, paradigm-shifting argument that speech -- not evolution -- is responsible for humanity's complex societies and achievements.\n\nFrom Alfred Russel Wallace, the Englishman who beat Darwin to the theory of natural selection but later renounced it, and through the controversial work of modern-day anthropologist Daniel Everett, who defies the current wisdom that language is hard-wired in humans, Wolfe examines the solemn, long-faced, laugh-out-loud zig-zags of Darwinism, old and Neo, and finds it irrelevant here in the Kingdom of Speech.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0316404632\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0316404632.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Wolfe, Tom\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Pages are clean with no markings.
