Q.3 In earlier times, how did man communicate with each other.
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Long before the earliest writings of the Sumerians and the Egyptians were developed, people communicated with each other by a number of different methods. Early humans could express thoughts and feelings by means of speech or by signs or gestures. They could signal with fire and smoke, drums, or whistles.
Answer:
this is an awesome question, that could really go in a few different directions based on what you mean by “communication”, though. By today’s modern definition, communication is usually defined as getting information or an idea from one party (or culture) to another, and, usually refers to verbal or written forms that convey a complete thoughtrather than a fragment. More on the fragments later, though.
If you accept that above definition, than the earliest documented type of communication was actually verbal, and dates back to roughly 500,000 BCE. The earliest documented type of non-verbal communication is significantly younger, at about 30,000 BCE, in the form of pictograph-based cave paintings, which eventually turned into the glyph languages from Ancient Sumar, Mesopotamia, and Egypt around 5000 BCE. All of those are validated forms of communication that convey a complete thought, as in, the person being communicated to understand the thought of the communicator with out having any preconceived notions about what is being communicated. I.E, it’s not afragment.
If you want to consider fragments in addition to the above, then I would venture a guess that the truest form of verbal communication was actually closer to a million years ago, when “Mog the Caveman” was grunting at the direction of some herd of animal for his tribe of nomads to go hunt for food. This is a fragment in that, “Mog the Caveman” provided no idea verbally indicating what the grunt was about, but relied on the context of the herd of animals in the distance to convey part of his meaning: “Food is there, we should go get some!”. Remove the herd, and the grunt’s context is gone, so now that sound’s meaning (In “Mog’s” head, anyway) is a mystery to whoever heard it with out the additional context of what is around them at the time. It’s anybody’s guess what “Mog” was trying to say.
