New research led by a prominent British archaeologist suggests that the human ability to communicate through language might have roots stretching back more than 1.6 million years... a significantly older date than previously assumed.
This finding challenges traditional theories about the origin of language and emphasizes the role of language in the evolutionary success of humans.
Since the discovery of fire was just about at the same time... we can assume that the first thing humans said was "ouch" when they got too close to the flames!
