New genetic research suggests that humans first developed language around 135,000 years ago when populations began ...

Subsequently, language might have entered social use 100,000 years ago. Our species, Homo sapiens, is about 230,000 years old. Estimates of when language originated vary widely, based on different ...

Genome-level research suggests early Homo sapiens may have begun using language around 135,000 years ago. While all human ...

Humans speak more than 7,000 languages today. As different as they all seem, researchers argue in a new review that they all ...

All languages likely come from a single original one, and early people began spreading around the world 135,000 years ago.

This date serves as a “lower boundary” for when language capacity must have emerged. But since Homo sapiens is at least ...

When did human language begin? It’s a deep question about our past. A new study suggests that humans had the ability to use ...

A genomic analysis suggests humans had the cognitive capacity for language at least 135,000 years ago, based on early ...

The new review, detailed in the journal Frontiers in Psychology, examines over a dozen genetic studies published in the past 18 years to indicate an initial branching of humans about 135,000 years ago ...

Neanderthals and Homo sapiens shared technology and customs in the Levant, shaping early human culture through cooperation.

This, in a nutshell, is the heart of the stoned ape theory, or the idea that our impressive cognitive capabilities, like affinities for art and language; self-awareness; and an understanding of ...
