From humble beginnings showing how a lexicon may self-organize in a population of artificial agents, these research efforts are now exploring how grammatical languages about complex scenes may emerge. This paper introduces this field of inquiry and then explores whether a dialog with archeologists might be useful.Anthropological linguisticsLinguistic paleontologyLanguage and languagesOriginAnthropological linguistics.Linguistic paleontology.Language and languagesOrigin.306.44D'Errico Francesco183435Hombert Jean Marie1204186MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910966623203321Becoming eloquent4347681UNINA
