Around the same time that humans started migrating, Language had to have been developed. It was a (Key) factor in the human development.

Student handout: Origins of Language Part 3 Read the paragraphs Think about this: Not all primates developed language. Based on what you just read, what do you think was different about these primate groups that did not develop language?

Advantages of kinship on language Both language and social networks based on family, allowed hominids to share more ideas, tools and resources. With this, one group could help another group to solve a problem. This way they spread their learning and thinking over larger areas. As people migrated, they took these ideas with them and solved them when they encountered new problems.
