The gradual coevolution of syntactic combinatorics and categorization under the effects of human self-domestication: a proposal

2022-03-11

Abstract excerpt

<p>This paper builds on a previous proposal that the gradual emergence of syntax in language evolution was engaged in a feedback loop with the effects of Human Self-Domestication (HSD), both processes contributing to enhanced connectivity in the cortico-striatal networks, which is the mechanism for suppressing reactive physical aggression, the hallmark of HSD, but also the mechanism of cross-modality, relevant for...
