HTML:<b>The maestro storyteller and reporter provocatively argues that what we think we know about speech and human evolution is wrong.</b><br /> Tom Wolfe, whose legend began in journalism, takes us on an eye-opening journey that is sure to arouse widespread debate. <i>The Kingdom of Speech</i> is a captivating, paradigm-shifting argument that speech — not evolution — is responsible for humanity's complex societies and achievements.<br /> From Alfred Russel Wallace, the Englishman who beat Darwin to the theory of natural selection but later renounced it, and through the controversial work of modern-day anthropologist Daniel Everett, who defies the current wisdom that language is hard-wired in humans, Wolfe examines the solemn, long-faced, laugh-out-loud zig-zags of Darwinism, old and Neo, and finds it irrelevant here in the Kingdom of Speech.
