Why Chimpanzees Can't Learn Language and Only Humans Can
Cook, Taste, Learn
Herbert S. Terrace
Guy Crosby
How the Evolution of Science Transformed the Art of Cooking
Herbert S. Terrace revisits Project Nim, his 1970s experiment to teach a chimpanzee language, to offer a novel view of the origins of human language. In contrast to both Noam Chomsky and his critics, Terrace contends that words, as much as grammar, are the cornerstones of language.
Guy Crosby offers a lively tour of the history and science behind the art of cooking, with a focus on achieving a healthy daily diet. He traces the evolution of cooking from its earliest origins, recounting the innovations that have unraveled the mysteries of health and taste.
