It also demonstrates that these similarities may have evolved from human facial expressions caused by emotions like fear, alertness, joy, pleasure, or pain. Covering thirty-four world languages, Nandi discusses the psychological background of an array of words-such as counting, evil, hurting, scratching, coughing, thinking, father-and compares those among other languages.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Seasoned with notes on psychological backgrounds, \u003ci\u003eHuman Language Evolution\u003c\/i\u003e provides rich insight into the whys of universally conserved linguistic patterns in light of the 170,000-year history of modern mankind, transcending the reaches of traditional etymology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Owi Nandi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1462057845\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781462057849\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/16\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.69d","brand":"Owi Nandi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47965798138111,"sku":"9781462057849","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3878b0c5-3f41-4cc6-ad80-4d8af85c3da3.jpg?v=1767284900","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/human-language-evolution-owi-nandi-9781462057849","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
