As the semester comes to an end here, I thought it might be worth highlighting a few terrific pieces that I have used early on in class before we picked up speed. They are superb entry points for complex issues: 1/

First, this essay by @WiringTheBrain in @aeonmag, a great préçis of his wonderful book "Innate":
aeon.co/ideas/wired-th… 2/

Next, @ProfSimonFisher's amazingly clear overview of the Evolving Story of FOXP2 in @CurrentBiology: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… 3/

Followed by @EllaLatt & @Sonja_Vernes's great perspective on "vocal learning": sciencedirect.com/science/articl… 4/

Finally, @DrEleanorScerri & a stellar list of co-authors on our species' complex evolutionary trajectory in @Trends_Ecol_Evo: cell.com/trends/ecology… 5/

I have enjoyed re-reading these articles and I highly recommend them
