The Spotlight Network on Communicating by Ruth Finnegan

📺 Tune into The Spotlight Network with Emmy Award Winner, broadcaster and actor Logan Crawford (Blood Bloods, The Blacklist, Manifest, Bull, The Irishman, Marry Me, Three Women, The Big Short, Person of Interest, Gotham, The Following, Daredevil, Not Okay, The First Purge ).🧠 Are words really the essence of human communication—or just one small part of a much larger, multi-sensory story?🌍 In Communicating, acclaimed anthropologist Ruth Finnegan challenges everything we think we know about how humans connect. Drawing from fields as diverse as linguistic anthropology, animal behavior, material culture, and even classical studies, Finnegan argues that touch, smell, sound, gesture, and visual expression are just as vital—if not more so—than spoken language.🐒 From the intricate gesture systems of great apes to ancient cave paintings, this groundbreaking book explores the rich, multimodal ways humans and other animals have communicated across cultures and time. Finnegan even questions long-held assumptions about language’s place in the evolution of humanity—did it really come first?🔍 Thought-provoking, deeply researched, and stunningly original, Communicating isn’t just a book—it’s a bold reimagining of what it means to be human.#TheSpotlightNetwork #authorinterview #RuthFinnegan #MultimodalCommunication #anthropologybooks #languageevolution #nonverbalcommunication #sensesandsociety #culturalstudies #humanconnection #communicationtheory #readersofinstagram #booktok #academicreads #authorspotlight #homoSapiens📖 Learn more:https://www.amazon.co.uk/Communicating-Multiple-Modes-Human-Communication-ebook/dp/B0CKFNP7S1 ✅ Visit the official website: https://thespotlight.network/💬 Let us know what you think of this video in the comment section below.✔️ And don’t forget to subscribe to The Spotlight Network!https://www.youtube.com/@TheSpotlightNetwork?sub_confirmation=1
