语言也许比想象中变化更快
We usually imagine language growing slowly, like a tree. First came simple sounds, then clearer signals, and finally the rich speech that humans use today.
Some researchers suggest a more dramatic possibility. Perhaps early humans reached a point where communication changed quickly. Once a group could share plans, names, warnings, and stories, each new word made the next word more useful.
