Title: latest thoughts
Review: This book is now four years old, nearly five years since it was written. The major ideas in it are still up-to-date, in fact even more relevant in view of the flood of pseudo-science pushing the idea that all human behaviour originates in our genes.Nevertheless the book is now ready for revision, and you might like to know that I'm busy revising it now. Lots of new archaeological discoveries need including, and one or two new pieces of information about languages: disappointingly few, actually, because linguists seem to have swallowed the genetic argument, or else to uncomfortably ignore it, rather than trying to take it on. The ghost of Chomsky (well it would be his ghost if he wasn't happily still alive and kicking), let's say the spirit of Chomsky still pervades Western linguistics, while Soviet linguistics has other interests.So an up-date of this rather individual book should be welcome.
