Abstract
This paper describes recent attempts to understand the evolution of language in humans and argues that useful lessons can be learned from this analysis by designers of hybrid symbolic/connectionist systems. A specification is sketched out for a biologically grounded hybrid system motivated by our understanding of both the evolution and development of symbolisation in humans.
