Description and Table of Contents

Description

What sets mankind apart from all other species is not the naked skin, the upright stance, the use of tools or the capacity for thought and emotion. Not even the ability to speak makes the difference. The true Sapiens Factor, the element which turned ape into man, was the transition from verbal communication to verbal thought.
