Researching the origin of human language, or glottogenesis, is like a detective story: there are too many versions and evidence has to be collected bit by bit. And these bits come from different sciences: anthropology, neurophysiology, ethology, archeology, genetics and, of course, linguistics.

In the book “The Origin of Language: Facts, Research, Hypotheses,” linguist and Doctor of Philology Svetlana Burlak collected data from all these sciences, described them in simple terms and put forward her hypothesis on the origin of language.

This is the second, expanded edition of the book. Ten years have passed since the first edition was published. During this time, dozens of discoveries have been made in glottogenesis, and the origin of language has become one of the most fashionable areas of science. The new edition takes into account the latest scientific data, a new chapter has appeared, and the remaining chapters have been significantly expanded.
