Abstract
This
paper provides an evolutionary perspective of cognition. First, a short review
of what is generally known about human evolution are provided. Implications for
the development of memory and learning are then noted. An extended discussion of
language from an evolutionary perspective follows. The conclusion from this
historical evidence is that the two neural networks in humans responsible for
simple naming and more complex language transformations developed at different
times. Implications for learning are briefly indicated in the concluding
section.
