Language comprises a central component of what the co-founder of modern evolutionary theory, Alfred Russell Wallace, called “man's intellectual and moral nature” - the human capacities for creative imagination, language and symbolism generally, a complex that is sometimes simply called “the human capacity.” This complex seems to have crystallized fairly recently among a small group in East Africa of whom we are all descendants, distinguishing contemporary humans sharply from all other animals, with enormous consequences for the whole of the biological world, as well as for the study of computational cognition. How can we explain this evolutionary leap? On the one hand, common descent has been important in the evolution of the brain, such that avian and mammalian brains may be largely homologous, particularly in the case of brain regions involved in auditory perception, vocalization and auditory memory. On the other hand, there has been convergent evolution of the capacity for auditory-vocal learning, and possibly for structuring of external vocalizations, such that apes lack the abilities that are shared between songbirds and humans. Language's recent evolutionary origin suggests that the computational machinery underlying syntax arose via the introduction of a single, simple, combinatorial operation. Further, the relation of a simple combinatorial syntax to the sensory-motor and thought systems reveals language to be asymmetric in design: while it precisely matches the representations required for inner mental thought, acting as the “glue” that binds together other internal cognitive and sensory modalities, at the same time it poses computational difficulties for externalization, that is, parsing and speech or signed production. Despite this mismatch, language syntax leads directly to the rich cognitive array that marks us as a symbolic species, including mathematics, music, and much more.
Fingerprint evidence is routinely used by forensics and law enforcement agencies worldwide to apprehend and convict criminals, a practice in use for over 100 years. The use of fingerprints has been accepted as an infa...
