The continuing legacy of nature versus nurture in biolinguistics

Daniel L Bowling. Psychon Bull Rev. 2017 Feb.

Abstract

Theories of language evolution that separate biological and cultural contributions perpetuate a false dichotomy between nature and nurture. The explanatory power of future theories will depend on acknowledging the reality of gene-culture interaction and how it makes language possible.

Keywords: Development; Genetics; Language; Nature vs. Nurture.
