May 9, 2020one interesting example is the khoisan people where they use clicking sounds to communicate
May 9, 2020Human-beings have always created symbols for things. Pictures or sound that represents something else. We’ve been doing this since we started drawing cave paintings. As technology and culture changes, so does our communication. Constantly shifting, evolving, and blending with other things. Eventually it becomes a true language.
This evolution is still happening. Our ways of communicating are constantly changing. Think about how different you might speak compared to your grandparents or imagine trying to decipher a sentence full of emojis 40 years ago. You couldn’t do it.

Humans aren't the first animal to communicate
They had thousands of years to figure this s*** out (long time)
Our first languages probably sounded like grunts and hollers like apes
Languages evolved and spread thru trade and war
Given the timescale it's not that mind boggling imo

jean pierrethought about this too. whos the nigga that looked at a rock and said "rock" and everyone agreed to call it a rock. then they passed that down and eventually they went to other groups of people and someone said this thing here is a "rock" . and everyone agreed.
I know that words and spelling/pronounciation changes and the etymology of the words evolve so the word rock was not always just rock. It evolved to the word rock. But I still think the fact that we all agreed on that word meaning this is crazy.
why does everyone call internet, internet? lol
