About

Automatically translated from German

Martin Meyer, a researcher at the University of Zurich, explains how human language evolved. The lecture addresses questions such as: Why have only humans developed complex language? What role did brain development play? The talk demonstrates that language is not a result of directed evolution but a fascinating interplay of social and biological adaptations. In German.
