DESIRE FOR COMMUNICATION, EXCHANGE AND SOCIALIZATION

INVENTION OF ORAL LANGUAGES

From the beginning, human beings have the capacity to speak, to emit different and articulated sounds. We are distinguished from animals by speech and language. The HOMO SAPIENS existed 200,000 years ago. The phonation system changed 40,000 years ago with the descent of the larynx, which allowed vocalizing and favoring speech. The evolution of the brain produces symbolic systems to associate objects, people, facts or ideas to words that represent them. Thanks to language, people can communicate at a distance with more information. Subsequently, the appearance of different languages ​​occurs due to the dispersion of the population and its isolation.
