April McMahon (English, U. of Edinburgh) and Robert McMahon (molecular genetics, Western General Hospital, Edinburgh) have worked together for the past ten years on interdisciplinary issues including connections between evolutionary theory, genetics, and historical linguistics. Here they consider a range of methods for comparing languages to discern meaningful resemblances in the data, which enable the identification of those languages descended from a single common ancestor and lead to the recovery of the history that produced that divergence. The authors apply computer programs from biology and evolutionary genetics to language data, test current theories and hypotheses, and demonstrate how new ideas can be formulated and new techniques applied to old data for new results. For students and researchers in historical and comparative linguistics, archaeology, genetics, and anthropology. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
