+1 for Pinker, though I'd pick The Language Instinct first, by a nose. +1 for Dawkins. Also: Daniel Dennett, Darwin's Dangerous Idea.

- paulgb 18y agoThanks for the recommendations. I've been wary of other books on evolution, even though the subject fascinates me, because I worry that they will be either repeating the same information (even the evolution bits of HTMW seemed repetitive since I read it immediately after TSG), or worse, dissecting creationist arguments. Dennett's book looks like it might be a good complement to TSG though, so I'll check it out. The Language Instinct is on my list too now. Thanks.
