supported by onomatopeia, words that sound similar to the noises they
describe.


"Pooh-pooh" theory - answer Speech developed from the instinctive
sounds people make in emotional circumstances. This is supported by
interjections, such as Ouch! and Yuck!


Social Interaction Source - answer AKA "Yo-he-ho" theory: The idea that
the sounds of a person involved in physical effort could be the source of
our language. A group of early humans might develop a set of hums,
grunts, groans and curses to lift and carry heavy stuff together. This
theory emphasizes social interactions and communication.

including the use of gestures may have been precursor for language

lobe (anterior speech cortex) involved in speech/language production.

temporal lobe (posterior speech cortex)involved in auditory/language
comprehension. Critical role in lexical access (word retrieval) and
integrating semantics into syntax.

articulatory muscles


Angular gyrus and supramarginal gyrus - answer Reading and writing


Arcuate fasciculus - answer Bundle of nerve fibers that forms crucial
