Is speech just chewing the fat?

Journal/Book: Behav Brain Sci. 1998; 21: 40 West 20TH Street, New York, NY 10011-4211. Cambridge Univ Press. 522-522.

Abstract: It is likely that the system controlling speech has evolved from the one that controls feeding. However, the idea that frames and content are programmed independently by two different cortical areas is not plausible, Models of the speech control system must also take into account the need to coordinate the respiratory, laryngeal, and articulatory musculature.
