Description

Book Synopsis
Language and culture are often seen as unique characteristics of human beings. This work examines the neurological evolution of our emotional repertoire and implications for current social behaviour and argues that our ability to use a wide array of emotions evolved long before spoken language.

Trade Review
“Turner’s thesis—the primacy of biologically based emotions as the foundation of human social bonding—is intellectually stimulating, and scholars in many fields not only in the social sciences but also in biology and the humanities, will want to read this book. . . . The writing style is clear and engaging.”—Larry Arnhart, Northern Illinois University
