Professor Guiora, thanks a lot for the truly nice story. There is an interesting on-going discussion on the cognitive Linguistics list (cogling-l) about action/language brain areas overlapping, Man evolution and language, gestures to language evolution theory, *animal communication*, and thought and language relationships. Those interested may join the discussion subscribing to cogling-l list: http://lists.ucsd.edu/mailman/listinfo/cogling-l On the same page there is also a link for searching the archives. Best, Giancarlo Buoiano
