Human Communication

Human communication was developed approximately 40,000 years ago.
This was possible through the development of vocal cords which
produced basic sounds in early prehistoric humans.

Previously, prehistoric humans produced sound through simple sounds,
facial expressions and cave paintings.

The development of language allowed prehistoric humans to transition
from being hunter-gatherers to farmers.

It was said that many settled near the Nile river and the
Mediterranean sea to have access to water for crop irrigation and
farming.

Cave paintings are regarded as the earliest attempts at recorded ideas
by prehistoric humans. The paintings portrayed images of family groups,
the animals they hunted and the types of crops they farmed.

The earliest form of recorded language is known as Cuneiform. This is
an early Sumerian form of writing in which shapes and characters
were carved into clay tablets.

Then Egyptian hieroglyphics was discovered. The hardened clay tablets
were difficult to transport, thus the ancient Egyptians used papyrus
plants to produce what is now known as the earliest paper.
