Generative Anthropology

Generative Anthropology (GA) is an attempt to come to grips with the fact that human language represents not a gradual development from animal communication but a radical break from it.

Books about Generative Anthropology:

I would recommend two books for those new to GA: The Origin of Language by Eric Gans & Anthropomorphics by Dennis Bouvard. They are both concise and powerful introductions to this new way of thinking.

  1. The Origin of Language: https://www.amazon.com/Origin-Language-New-Eric-Gans/
  2. Anthropomorphics: https://www.amazon.com/Anthropomorphics-Originary-Grammar-Dennis-Bouvard/
