DESCRIPTION:Language serves as a cornerstone for h
 uman cognition, yet much about its evolution remai
 ns puzzling. Recent research on this question para
 llels Darwin's attempt to explain both the unity o
 f all species as well as their diversity. What has
  emerged is that the unified nature of human langu
 age arises from a shared, species-specific computa
 tional ability, one with identifiable correlates i
 n the brain, that has remained fixed since the ori
 gin of language about 100 thousand years ago. At t
 he same time, the nature of variation from languag
 e to language arises historically in ways similar 
 to biological variation, and can be modelled as su
 ch.  For more information, see http://biologyoflan
