Theory: human language usage is a communication component of complex skills, along with perception and action. Language is based on the evolution of skills among vertebrates.     Methodology: investigated with analyses of information processing requirements and feasibility studies

What do we mean by skills?
Goal: a theory to support skill-engineering for skills
Social engineering vs. laissez faire or benign neglect
Using artificial intelligence to simulate skills
First: demonstrating the feasibility of simulating the skill
The second approach simulates learning and using the skill
The third approach focuses on evolution, on simple brain-based roots for skills and on the sequence leading to the target skill
Evolution as an augmented and biased copy mechanism
Multiple types of mechanism for the evolution of skills
Allocation of skills and functions to the innate mechanisms
Allocation of skills and functions to the mimicry / apprenticeship mechanisms
Allocation of skills and functions to the speech-based mechanism
Allocation of skills and functions to the reading & writing-based mechanism
Allocation of skills and functions to the computer-aided task mechanisms
Why might a multi-layer theory of evolution be useful for skill engineering?
Why might a multi-layer theory of evolution be useful for skill engineering?
How do the distinct mechanisms coexist and depend on one another?
How many stages in the chain of evolution do we need to model?
