Abstract
This chapter brings together the threads of arguments running all throughout the book. Even though the book overall argues that biological relations are ultimately irrelevant to the logical texture of linguistic cognition, this chapter does emphasize that what has been demonstrated does not, however, scale down the role of biological structures in the growth and evolution of cognition. Rather, the role of biological implementation, rather than of biology itself, in the present context has been de-emphasized but not certainly eliminated.
