How did we go from grunts and “ooh”s and “ah”s to complex modern languages? And why haven’t other animals done the same?

As the top comment more or less says. humans evolved hard-wiring for language, even if not spoken, in the same way cheetahs evolved for speed. Most primate brains are designed much more for communication and social interaction than most other animals, and humans are a LONG step above that.
It took millions of years for language to evolve, and that was AFTER human brains expanded proportionally in size.
