Fascinating and Strange Facts About Evolution and Early Humans

The Development of Language Skills

Some scientists propose that the origins of communication and language can be traced back to a common dialect spoken by our African ancestors. This early form of language likely consisted of sounds and grunts rather than formal words but served as a means of instruction and expression. With over 5,000 languages spoken in the world today, it is highly probable that human language began developing around 100,000 years ago.
