Lewontin wrote a book with Chomskey and it has fuck-all to do with linguistics
Nicely put: "Humans and chimpanzees are nevertheless very similar in their proteins, on the average, but vastly different in the sizes of their brains and their ability to write books about each other.”- R. Lewontin 1998. Very clever, so long as you pick the appropriate referents for the reciprocal expression.
