Was language created because our ancestors were trying to warn each other about dangerous animals?
>>18222220How would the evolutionary process for that look like?
>>18222223Probably millions of years to get a specific word described
>>18222222>>18222225It'd be a couple thousand, not a million.
THAT IS WHAT ATHEISTS BELIEVE.
>>18222220>>18222223>>18222225We've actually done a lot of historical experiments for this exact thing on babies/orphans. To make a long story short: the most immediate, rudimentary, form of humanoid language is simply making noises (screaming, clicking, whistling, grunting, hooting, clapping) and picking up on emotional context or tone, that much can be done with zero culture. The second level is mimicking animal noises or noises presented in nature; onomatopoeia. Other apes don't seem to do this, this is a hominid, possibly even a human specific quality. Humans inherently have a mind that's prone to emulation and catalogue. One of the more 'famous' real world examples of this is the original ancient egyptian name for cat was "mau", literally, they named it after the noise it made. Shit like that.

>>18222269Wait, so how long will it take for animals to develop language?
>>18222220KREE?

>>18222220We just don't really know. Linguists have considered speculation about the origin of human language as a whole pointless for some time now.
>>18222220Language evolved from singing, which evolved as a ourtship display, similarly how some primates today still do. That's why successfull pop starts are still considered the epitome of sexy.
>>18222947You're likely to be right, were they similar to rituals?

>>18222220God created Adam, and Adam knew how to speak, he gave names to different birds and shit.
>Ik ookThat’s Dutch
>>18222268You're a poopy skinned mexichango. You're living proof of archaic hominid admixture.
>>18223334Youre not even wrong
>>18224156Hitler dood, wat nou?
>>18224393How is Dutch even real
>>18224412dutch is the closest language to english since the anglo-saxon tribes largely came from that region of germania. as a consequence it sounds like english but from a slightly off parallel world where they replace every other letter with something silly
>>18224432"Winkelwagen"
>>18224432>dutch is the closest language to englishNo, that's Scots, followed by Frisian.
