   How did language evolve?

There was no “single silver bullet” that generated language. The indication is that human language was a fairly late acquisition of Homo sapiens.

   Could other extinct human species have inherited language?

   Do all humans have language?

   • All human societies have language, and no language is “better” than any other: all can communicate the full range of human experience. To those of us who study human evolution, this incredible universality suggests that our species has had language right from when Homo sapiens arose in Africa between 200,000 and 160,000 years ago.
