The Story of Homo Loquens by Dan M. Mrejeru is a work based in science that explains how the human brain has developed over the years. Do you wonder how brains have adapted? How did we become intelligent enough to learn to speak languages? Do you believe in evolution? This book provides the author’s answers to those questions. To find out, you must check out this informative work!
The term Homo Loquens refers to the speech portion of the human brain. No other species has exhibited behavior as distinctly unique as the speech of the human. This aspect of the human species is a fascinating concept. This concept provides an insight into how human brains function and allows us to understand the causation of communicating verbally.

Although not altogether relegated to humans alone, the vocal pattern of speech is an essential part of life on planet Earth. The vocalization of every species is a particular element of life that enhances the quality of each species. As it relates to every human, this is a valuable concept. Readers will love to learn about how speech became part of our species, in the author’s opinion.

While I am fascinated by the concept of linguistic communication as an evolving element of humanity, I also have to remember that many beliefs in the world provide a proven history of this concept in humankind. Many religions mention the birth of mankind and how everything began. The idea of evolution is not accepted by all people. This is the only negative observation I have regarding this work. There is a somewhat sluggish pace of scientific bogging that takes place, but once the reader adapts to that special language, the experience is enlightening. The pacing in this book is only slightly slowed by the use of scientific terms.

There are concepts introduced in this volume that reflect on the human mind and its adaptability. What bothered me a little was how the chapter headings are sometimes worded. For instance, “How the Human Mind Invented the Concept of the Future.” Many readers will feel that the future is not just a concept, and it was not invented by the human mind but is dictated and regulated by time alone. Something that cannot be invented by the human mind.

I recommend this book to students of brain research. Anyone impressed by neurological science will be intrigued by this written work. The human brain is a fascinating study, in particular concerning language. This book is exceptionally edited. I found no errors in the work. For these reasons, I am rating this book with 4 out of 4 stars.

This is not my field of expertise, but I'm always eager to learn about how we function as humans. However, I'm afraid I may not be able to understand the book. Thanks for the review though.

I don't think this book is for me. Although I am quite interested how the humans brain works this book might just not be the one. Other than that thanks for a great review.
