The Genetic Code and Natural Language: Thoughts on the Origins of Two Premium 
			    Inheritance Systems

Kivonatos ismertetés:
One of the recurrent elements of the major evolutionary transitions is the 
emergence of new inheritance system.  The origin of the genetic code and 
natural language were the two prime enablers of constructive biological and
cultural evolution, respectively. Both have contributed to the emergence of 
higher evolutionary units, and both are likely to have progressed from inconic 
to symbolic semiosis. I shall discuss the gaps in our advancing understanding 
of these fascinating evolutionary achievements.
