Summary:
The book argues that humans are born with an innate capacity for language, drawing on evidence from developmental psychology, neurology, and linguistics. It explores the idea that language is a fundamental part of human biology, akin to a biological adaptation, rather than a cultural invention.
Key points:
1. Language as Instinct: Pinker believes language is an inborn ability, not a learned cultural artifact.
