What enables human language? A biocultural framework
To account for human language, we propose a multifaceted and explicitly biocultural framework grounded in empirical investigations spanning a diverse array of empirical and theoretical fields. The framework is illustrated with three facets of language with distinctive evolutionary history, each involving multiple disciplines and several species — e.g., humans, primates, and songbirds. Such case studies […]
Nicolas Claidiere
Nicolas Claidiere is a CNRS Research Director at CRPN, where he co-leads the development and phylogeny research group (DePhy) and directs the Primate Cognition and Behaviour platform. His research lies at the intersection between psychology, animal behaviour, and evolutionary biology, with a focus on understanding how social behaviour emerges, spreads, and evolves. Using a comparative […]
