Abstract: Abstract A richly innervated binocular vision, erect posture (which may have encouraged the lengthening of the pharynx and the posterior location of the tongue and whose verticality suggests connections between language and religious sensibility), the invention of the master tool, a sense of the future, and so on — these and other factors contributed to a discontinuity in evolution that set man the language user on the path of his development. But what happened in the brain/mind itself? What was the threshold event?
