People said 1.8 million years ago?

From 1.8 million years ago, we used language to communicate, which is 1 million years earlier than we still think.

This hypothesis was developed by Daniel Everett, a professor at Bentley University (Massachusetts, USA) and author of How Language Began .

Before that, most paleontologists thought that language was a great step forward of about 350,000 years ago.

But according to Professor Everett, the upright person who lived 1.8 million years ago created language and used language when hunting or shipbuilding conquered remote islands like Flores in Greece and Crete in Greece.

"People assume that the upright person is not intelligent, is simply a monkey-like creature. But I see the upright people making great strides in their time," Professor Everett told the annual meeting. of the American Association for Scientific Development (AAAS) in Austin, Texas.

They have the ability to plan, can manipulate tools. In it, the biggest "fortune" left by the person standing is the ability to build ships across the ocean.

"The ocean is not a problem for the upright. They have traveled the world. So they need boats and need at least 20 companions to reach their destination," Professor Everett said.

"Therefore, the upright person desperately needs the language to be used for sailing. They cannot paddle unorganized like on a log because they will be sunk when encountering big waves. They must be able to use the paddle proficiently. .

And they need to say "rowing" or "stopping rowing" for the whole boat to perform simultaneously. Not only do they need normal calls, they need language , ' argues Professor Everett.

Professor Everett affirmed: "They may not be able to say long sentences, but they can certainly use language. They can compare their language like a Ford, and our language is Tesla. But the language "Ford style" is not a pre-linguistic language but a language ".

"Homo Erectus should be more respected, because Homo Neanderthalis or Homo Sapiens (wise people) later inherited the legacy of Homo Erectus , " Professor Everett concluded.

Homo Erectus (Homo Erectus) is the first species of the genus Homo, thus the first human species.

Straight people can stand on 5 feet long about 30cm. The brain of a standing up person is very large, about 950cm ³ , roughly the size of today's European female brain.

Their housing has made great progress when the place separates farming, breeding as well as accommodation, sleeping places and common places.

However, up to now, Everett's theory of upright people has many conflicting ideas.
