Steven Pinker  

Definition

  • Steven Pinker is an experimental psychologist who has argued that human capacities for speech and abstract thought are based on evolved components of our brain that are not shared by other primates, and that much of human behavior results from evolutionary adaptations. Pinker was born in 1954 in Montreal, Canada. [Source: Encyclopedia of Anthropology; Pinker, Steven (1954–)]
