| Summary: | The hypothesis of this paper is the need of a new formulation of the question of the origin of human verbal language starting from the concept of “technology”. The paper has a regard for the possible definition of human language as “species-specific” body technology applied to particular needs. So, not only the language but the whole body results a technology: thus the author reads the question of Exaptation by Gould and Vrba. So, the human verbal language represents a “speech-making technology” just like the “tool-making technology”, and both evolved for the same social tasks. |
