Symbols ,[object Object],[object Object],Although language is a part of life today, in it primeval stages, oral language was most existent.

Based on opinion, I believe that the real reason that our species developed this complex new way of communication is because not of learning new tools, per say, but to preserve the species and adapt as we go. No one knows for certain what those cave paintings meant, if either a story or some religious article.

Advances In Writing ,[object Object],In the bottom of this slide, early symbols for the specified words are explained, later on, these same concepts of ideas in a written statement were drastically changed. Eventually, all changed shape. Later on, many other civilizations shortly after the Mesopotamians, among others, became interested in this lifestyle and developed an ALPHABET

The Development of an ALPHABET ,[object Object],Credit of an alphabet can date back into the Proto-Canaanites around 1700 BC, they were clearly inspired by the Egyptians to create a written language which consisted of acrophony, just like the Egyptians. They developed 30 symbols for 30 consonant sounds. This language preceded the Phoenicians, Greeks, and Latin languages.

Credited for inspiring the Greeks to form a written Language, the Phoenicians developed what looks Very close to the written language we have today, The Greeks earned a place in history by being the First civilization to come up with VOWELS, something Very important in today's written languages.
