Answer:Language is often described as the sine-qua-non or the most important and distinguishing characteristic of a culture or civilisation. There has been a the consistent relationship between the level of advancement of a society and the complexity and development of its language. In fact, one may say that civilisation or for that matter the very idea of knowledge is closely intertwined with language.

Scientists interested in the study of the evolution of behaviour of societies point out that there are four distinct features which have made the human organism distinctly superior to the highest evolved sub-human organisms like the chimpanzee. These are, attainment of an erect posture, the growth of the cerebral cortex and its complexity, the prolonged period of socialisation, and finally the acquisition of advanced and complex linguistic capacities and abilities.

While the first three are purely biological or related to biological factors this is not the case with language. Language skills of the human being have been growing and will continue to grow. In fact, while the brain structure, erect posture and socialisation have essentially remained the same throughout human history, the story is different in the case of language.
