I find language quite a bit less mystic than most people make it. You just associate words/labels/sounds/signs with sensory inputs and start agreeing with people around you on the labels/sounds! After a while of this you have a primitive but functional langauge. And theres no denying that a language, no matter how primitive, provides an evolutionary advantage!

Please make a video about Empress Qi. The imperial concubine from Goryeo(now Korea) who became the Empress and ruled the Yuan Dynasty of China. I want to know more about her and on why she disappeared because even until today historians still didn t know what happen to her after her reign.

It's funny when you realise that languages and words are some weird sounds we humans use to communicate. It may sound like the barking of a dog to a dog. But what if dogs do communicate like us and it's just that we can't understand them, similarly they can't properly understand ours.

Humans came from Mars on a big Spacecraft because of the hazard of nuclear contamination on its surface, the ship just crashed on the Earth killing the dinosaurs, and the remaining people were spread throughout the planet giving birth to society.

The meaning to convey your thought is what made lanugage. You can do thing without talking but to tell other about the things u do, you will need lanugage.

why didnt other mammals evolved to have languages even though they were much better than us in hunting.
Every type of biological skill was destined for man i guess.

And here we see wild early-stage commenters in their natural habitat, saying first because their brains have not evolved enough to say anything else.
