ISBN:  9780316269964 (large print : hc) 0316269964 (large print : hc) Edition:  Large print ed. Description:  297 p. (large print) ; 22 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (pages 273-297). Summary:  Before he became a bestselling author, Tom Wolfe's career began in journalism. He takes us on an eye-opening journey, a captivating, paradigm-shifting argument that speech - not evolution - -is responsible for humanity's complex societies and achievements. 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. Tom Wolfe is the author of The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, The Right Stuff, The Bonfire of the Vanities, A Man in Full, I Am Charlotte Simmons, and Back to Blood. He lives in New York City.
