How Languages Formed & Developed Overtime

The Increasingly Complex Languages & Communication Skills used worldwide have undoubtedly shaped the way in which we process and understand the world around us.


However , beliefs about how & when communicating began is highly disputed.


Some Experts Believe That basic Communication began over 2 million years ago , with the Now Long Extinct 'Homo Erectus' Hominin


Although complex speech did not become commonplace untill around 100,000BCE

(Before Common Era)


The 'Homo Erectus' is the first species on earth to portray complex human-like characteristics , with similar body proportions to modern day humans only with shorter arms and longer legs relative to its torso , when compared to the modern day human.


Some evidence also suggests that 'Homo Erectus' were the first species to discover "cooked food" which undeniably changed the course of their existence & helped shape the security and progression of the species , as they continually evolved overtime.


Fossilised Remains ,dating back between 1,900,000 -500,000 years ago , points to evidence that The 'Homo Erectus' Was Also the first known hominin to migrate Outside Of Africa. Consequently venturing out into a world full of unexplored areas, and making many unbounded discoveries along the way!


Early humans could express thoughts and feelings by means of speech or by signs or gestures.
