By cave dwelling times humans already had speech, contrary to silly movies that have cave people grunting. They were working in groups to hunt and speech would have been a huge help in that regard to planning out the hunt.
This string made me think of this scenario (at least the latter panels) back to when I first listened to this song (and have worn it out over the years) – what was it like for the first person to actually form words. Wonder if Wiley is a Pink Floyd fan. And I wonder now in this time, if the lyrics can offer a path forward, “all we need to do is make sure we keep talking.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJ7zbzJZsjs

Anyone else been feeling like Homer lately? Surrounded by Neanderthals in a time of ignorance and tribalism.
