en-wikipedia-org-9532		Steven Pinker - Wikipedia			.html	text/html	8824	1013	65	The Language Instinct (1994), How the Mind Works (1997), Words and Rules (2000), The Blank Slate (2002), and The Stuff of Thought (2007), describe aspects of psycholinguistics and cognitive science, and include accounts of his own research, arguing that language is an innate behavior shaped by natural selection and adapted to our communication needs. In 1990, Pinker, with Paul Bloom, published a paper arguing that the human language faculty must have evolved through natural selection.[39] The article provided arguments for a continuity based view of language evolution, contrary to then current discontinuity based theories that see language as suddenly appearing with the advent of Homo sapiens as a kind of evolutionary accident. In 2009, Pinker wrote an article about the Personal Genome Project and its possible impact on the understanding of human nature in The New York Times.[89] He discussed the new developments in epigenetics and gene-environment interactions in the afterword to the 2016 edition of his book "The Blank Slate".[90]	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-9532.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-9532.txt
