Brain composition and language

359 viewsBiologyOther

If the brain is composed of different parts and one or some of them are dedicated for language does that mean that the concept was always there before humans started communicating.

If so then does that mean that we reached the end of discovery/invention of such concepts since no brain „spaces“ are left.

It’s like the chicken and the egg. Neither language, nor the brain regions specialised in language came first, instead they both evolved together from earlier forms.

Interestingly, despite recent advances in medicine and the end of predation, human evolution is thought to be happening faster than ever, driven by mate selection and a huge and very mixed gene pool. I’d love to know what my great^(10) grandkids will look like.
