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.

Well it’s not quite true that areas of the brain are “dedicated” to one function or the other. There are areas that can be seen in scans that represent specializations in certain functions, but those functions are shared to one degree or another throughout the brain. With that point aside, the areas of the brain that specialize in language comprehension and reproduction almost certainly predated language by specializing in vocalization. The concept of language did not need to predate the areas of the brain specializing in audio expression.
