Language Evolution
Chimps are capable if using a rudimentary humanlike language, even though they cannot speak. This tells us two very important facts about human evolutions.
First, our pre human ancestors probably were intelligent enough to engage in some kind of symbolic communication, however limited.
Second, the ability to speak is crucial in that it allows for much more communication about many more topics, and at a greater speed. Anthropologists are currently debating the questions of what stage if a human evolution was the one in which speech became possible.
According to some, reconstructions of the vocal apparatus and oral structure of Neanderthal skeletons indicate that Neanderthals could not pronounce many of the sounds commonly found in the modern languages.
Others disagree claiming that the cultural advances of the Neanderthals could have been achieved only with the us of speech, which could have been needed in order to organize and carry out the cooperatives hunting venture that were the main source of food for some groups.
While this debate may never really end , we do now that only through speech have we been able to reach present levels of technological and cultural advancements.
