What reading level is The Accidental Species: Misunderstandings of Human Evolution book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The content of both sets of exchanges would probably be very similar, even if you could hear the words spoken by the humans, or make sense of the squawks of the crows.
Is this not a scandalous suggestion? After all, human language—the system whereby we communicate information through the rapid modulation of sounds carried on exhaled packets of air—seems something unique, exceptional. The complicated arrangement of the larynx, the resonant chambers in our nose and mouth, the shape of our throat, ...the musculature that controls our lips and tongue with great precision and delicacy—all seem refined to a degree seen nowhere else, suitable for conveying the infinite subtleties of language. Apes and monkeys do communicate vocally, but they have nothing to match the sophisticated vocal apparatus of humans, nor, as far as we know, do they indulge in communications of a subtlety that might demand such complexity.
When one looks beyond our immediate primate relatives, we see that many animals have equally unique forms of vocal communication, dependent on equally sophisticated and refined structures.
