Abstract
It has been a popular view to propose that gesture preceded and paved the way for the evolution of (spoken) language (e.g., Corballis, Tomasello, Arbib). However these views do not take into account the recent findings on the neural and cognitive infrastructure of how modern humans (adults and children) use gestures in various communicative contexts. Based on this current knowledge I will revisit gesture-first theories of language evolution and discuss alternatives more compatible with the multimodal nature of modern human language -
