Origins of Human Language: Deductive Evidence for Speaking Australopithecus

This article argues for a much greater antiquity of human language than has normally been assumed in recent research, indicating four deductive arguments to provide evidence for a positive answer to the question whether the capacity for language was already optionally present in some Australopithecus, and then emerged with Homo as one of his unique traits. The author considers the following four arguments: (1) the lithic-geolinguistic prehistoric correlation, (2) the millennial stability of languages, (3) the new revolutionary discovers on the language of animals, and (4) the process of human world formation. The provisional conclusion of this article are that Homo was born loquens (2.5 million years ago), languages appeared with Homo himself, and language existed much earlier on (before 2.5 million years ago).
