Aim of this work is to show the evolutionary connection between the chewing movements and the development of species-specific traits useful for speech in Homo Sapiens. This study will demonstrate how motor control of masticatory system affects the whole body homeostasis and its interactions are reciprocal for the production of human articulated language. In this perspective we consider speech as the product of a slow evolution of structures previously used for primary purposes and then adapted to new purely human functions ( refunctionalization ).

Abstract
Aim of this work is to show the evolutionary connection between the chewing movements and the development of species-specific traits useful for speech in Homo Sapiens. This study will demonstrate how motor control of masticatory system affects the whole body homeostasis and its interactions are reciprocal for the production of human articulated language. In this perspective we consider speech as the product of a slow evolution of structures previously used for primary purposes and then adapted to new purely human functions ( refunctionalization ).File in questo prodotto:
