Abstract: Abstract After the neocortex reached a certain size, after its interconnectivity reached a certain density, the rapid development of language-dedicated areas was achievable — in an organism of small enough somatic dimensions to free a large portion of neocortical tissue for linguistic activities. Through time those activities — and their cultural systems — were selected for and enriched. The catastrophic discontinuity in the evolution of intelligence made man possible.
