Human language, a signature of our species, derives its power from its links to human cognition. This link between language and cognition has captivated scholars across disciplines for centuries. In this dissertation, I introduce new evidence that sheds light on its developmental and evolutionary origins. Previous work had shown that infants begin to establish the language-cognition link as early as 3 months of age. Here, across five experiments with infants in their first year of life, I show that this precocious link is (1) characterized by joint contributions of infants' innate capacities and their sensitivity to experience, (2) constrained by maturation, and (3) requires a dedicated speech-specific processing system. I also propose a theoretical framework for integrating these developmental findings with findings from neuroscience and evolutionary biology, advancing burgeoning theories on the evolutionary origins of human language and its links to cognition.
