The book explores the foundational abilities for language in nonhuman primates and human infants, emphasizing phylogenetic and ontogenetic continuity. It examines essential behaviors for language acquisition, including vocalizations, meaning mapping, gestural communication, tool use, object concept, and memory. By analyzing similarities and differences in these precursors across species, the author discusses their implications for the evolution of language and presents hypotheses regarding its origins.

I’ve been alone for too long. When the backup singer walks into my audition, I want her instantly. But she doesn’t fall into my arms like a groupie.Kat has secrets of her own. Her kid is sick and she will do anything for him. I’m too old and too damaged for her. But when we sing a duet on stage for the first time, not even she can deny our off-the-charts chemistry. She ignores my attempts to buy her affection. I try every trick in the book but she turns me down again and again. Finally I win her over, but it’s just for one night. A misunderstanding almost ruins our chance forever. I will give everything I have to prove that I am worthy of her love.
