[Human language and the immaturity of the human brain at birth].

Language does not exist because of a specific structure in the human brain. It uses actually specialized areas dedicated to other functions such hearing and oro-pharyngo-laryngeal motricity. Language needs a long apprenticeship which is possible because the human brain is able to learn. This ability to learn is probably due to a "brain immaturity" at birth. This immaturity may be interpreted as the consequence of an "interruption" of the gestation period.
