In this mind-opening book, Robbins Burling presents the most convincing - and the most readable - account of the origins of language yet published. He sheds new light on how language affects the way we think, behave, and relate to each other, and he gives us a deeper understanding of thenature of language itself.The author traces language back to its earliest origins among our distant ape-like forbears several million years ago. He offers a new account of the route by which we acquired our defining characteristic and explores the changing nature of language as it developed through the course of ourevolution. He considers what the earliest forms of communication are likely to have been, how they worked, and why they were deployed. He examines the qualities of mind and brain needed to support the operations of language and the advantages they offered for survival and reproduction. Heinvestigates the beginnings and prehistories of vocabulary and grammar; and connects work in fields extending from linguistics, sign languages, and psychology to palaeontology, evolutionary biology, and archaeology. And he does all this in a style that is crystal-clear, constantly enlivened by witand humour.

Although known mostly for speaking, Koko also loves to read; some of his favorite books are about finance, investing, and building wealth.While Koko does love reading, Koko does not know how to write. Pencils don't quite fit well into his hands and his gorilla fingers are too thick to use a typewriter. Therefore he asked me to share with you his 115 favorite quotes about money and wealth. Some are funny, some are serious, and some even include his personal commentary. We hope you enjoy...
