Language and Communication
Chris Addison's spoof lectures exploring human evolution. With Geoffrey McGivern as Professor Austin Herring. From August 2005.
Chris Addison鈥檚 exploration of the fascinating subject of human evolution begins with languages.
With more than 5,000 languages now in use - why is it fortunate that the original human language developed in Africa rather than England?
