What was the origin of our language system? Did it start with humans or did some animals have a language before us? Do some animals have a language, or a proto language, now? Maybe our language started as a sign language, maybe spoken words came later.
Did we once have just one language on Earth? What made languages grow apart? Are there some universal words, like ‘ouch’ perhaps, that exist in all languages?
What is the future of language? Will we eventually have one language over all the Earth, just as we once did when our species began? Will that language be a spoken, or written, or sign language? Will we forever keep changing our ways to communicate?
