Drawing on decades of field research with wild baboons, Robert Seyfarth and Dorothy Cheney explore the evolutionary precursors to human language. The authors argue that the complex social structures of primates provided the necessary cognitive foundation for the development of communication, examining how social intelligence and vocal signaling intersect to shape the origins of linguistic expression.
