Ancient cave drawings may have led to modern lanuages

Researchers now believe that language might have developed from cave drawings. Specifically, they think the ancient artwork located in caves with good acoustics might have inspired humans to develop the vocal communication that exists today. A new report on the theory from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology hinges on the fact that caves allow for echoes. The researchers think that previously discovered cave drawings prove that the fundamental parts of speech were derived from artwork. The MIT team that worked on the new analysis said that taking a look in the depths of ancient caves can provide modern humans with answers about where languages stemmed from.
