How Did Language Begin

[@dr.bilalnazir]

I'm glad you maintained a level intellectually credibility by being explicit about how many of the theories are based on speculation. Thank you for the video

[@welshpete12]

No, that is not true . We speculate on how something came to be , then a unproven theory is developed which in turn is tested with reality .

This is why I hate to take so much time and energy to learn a language perfectly. After all, it's all about communcation. If I make clear what I mean, then that's enough right? Who cares about spelling it correctly or not? There are more imporant things in the world...

"Vowels" were already present in early hominoid duets (gibbon-like songs, cf. Ch.Darwin). Consonants (brief interruptions of the oral cavity at the lips, teeth, palate etc.) became possible much later, when early-Pleistocene Homo followed the southern Eurasian coasts (Java, Flores etc.) and evolved adaptations for suction of seafoods, esp. shellfish: our closed parabolic tooth-row with incisiform canines, vaulted palate, globular tongue, hyoidal descent etc. The combination of these vowels + consonants with voluntary breathing (shallow-diving cf. E.Morgan) was the basis of human spoken language, google e.g. "Seafood, Diving, Song and Speech".

I find these sorts of unknowns absolutely fascinating, I'm not religious and don't believe in a higher being but sometimes I think about the world, the universe, the undeniably scary scale of everything, and wonder how it all became to be. Its staggering when you take time to research reality, if that's what this is.

[@thelionofjudah77u82]

Now sit back and think of all the billions of galaxies,stars, planets, moons, and 8 million species of life on earth all created with design and not randomly put together. Think of this planet earth, made up of over 70 percent water with oceans going 7 miles deep. Have you ever wondered where water itself came from? After pondering all of this how then can you not believe in an intelligent designer? How can you have a creat-ure without a creat-or? John 3:16/Romans 10:9 #BELIEVEANDBESAVED

Mohamed Chahrour has a well grounded theory about language beginning and evolution.

[@jayfree3852]

Psychedelics such as psilocybin we’re easily accessible to early humans in Africa. Recent studies have shown that psilocybin increases frontal lobe growth over time, and with that Broca’s area, the part of the brain most responsible for articulating language. On top of that it creates new neurological pathways that allow for a different way of thinking. This is somewhat popular theory but due to lack of evidence (I mean how exactly can you find evidence for this or any language theory?) and the current impression most people have towards psychedelics (that they are “bad”) it isn’t widely accepted, but consider it, and try and let go of prejudices against psychedelics, they can only be bad if you abuse them.

1) How do you know that no other animals have language? 2) If they communicate, then a further explanation is needed of what constitutes language.

beginning to speaking is so much bigger than going to moon or teleportation. How can someone learn without intention ? How is teaching possible without intention ? I think root of evolution is having pleasure. That is what i think others think. But why would a man, who doesn't know nothing but surviving, would intent to do something without pleasure. what can be the reason ? I can tell you that i will give you something tomorrow but you have to give me today. So if you want you can give me today. Because i with expressions or language explained you that you will get tomorrow. But a man without language would not do anything other than have pleasure.

Many animals have “languages” we just can’t figure out definable words cuz we don’t understand their languages. Much like how monkeys look the same to us. All their sounds sound the same. And they don’t have thumbs or great memory. Or higher thinking. So how do we know they don’t have fleshed out languages. And if so. How do we know a species has to develop coordinated efforts after language. Seems like we, as ants do, could build things without speaking.

Even one individual Homo Sapien could create and remember 30 phrases, while others fall to memorize them, would make the phrases impossible to become a speech at the end. Don't forget any of our languages do exist grammar. You can't just make up a speech or language without having any logical grammar structures. Homo Sapiens may have the potential oral skill, but did't mean they have the ability to create a language especially they didn't have long term memories like modern human. If modern human also find it difficult to create a new language, then how could Homo Sapiens have the ability to do so? Apart from God, our ancestors could possibly learn how to speak from other higher Intelligent creatures 😂

He made us with hunger and thirst and gave us varieties of food and drinks to fulfil our needs. God equipped us with tools so we can eat and drink. Everything has a purpouse, so do we.

Language was created by our creator God. The first school was 4,000 years ago. Humans been on Earth according to science 2 million plus years. There are hundreds of languages around the world the word god is in every single one of them. That's because God wanted us to recognize that there is a god and he created language along with humans. If you isolate a human or humans from birth, whether it's one or 100 they will never be able to speak. If humans came up with the language they would have not put the word god in every language
