Adam's Tongue by David Bickerton
Evolutionists struggle to explain human language acquisition. Two streams of argument flow: (1) as with the entire evolutionary process the step from non language to language was gradual; (2) it was just the opposite--animals function differently than humans, they don't think, they react. Bickerton is in the latter group and well sets out his theory. Some version of homo starting talking, simply, most likely related to getting food to eat. That led over time to larger brain capacity, which then gave rise to increased thinking.
I read to discern if any of this would make me better understand Hebrew, it didn't.
But I must admit the relation between the bible and science intrigues me. There are no easy answers to the difficult questions.

We really don't have much in the way of facts to go on here - perhaps that is the largest part of the struggle...
