| Anthropologists are currently arguing that the ability to speak is what has elevated humankind from its millions of years of struggle into the dominant and superior creature it is today. For the life of me, I can not see how having a hyoid bone makes me a better hunter or farmer or even a better eater. I can see, however, how the spoken, and later, written word can make me a better person. Here are some articles and papers I have written for one purpose or another and some articles, etc., I have found that inspire me. I hope they also inspire you. |
