What language did cavemen speak, and was a cave man the first man?

Question

i am not writing a report i just find learning my thoughts fun.,. more fun than speaking

Answer 1

The earliest people, were not cave people (in the Neanderthal sense).

They were Africans--Habesha people, and later other groups, and all Africans originally spoke the Mother Tongue. Until people went their separate ways and began to change physically because of climate and diet, and later developed their own languages.

Answer 2

Early man also lived in tents and huts.  Maybe as far back as 2 million years. Language started as facial and hand gestures. A good game would be to go somewhere with a friend but use no spoken word. Use only facial, hand gesture and sounds like ohh and ahh. Get an idea of what it was like to live pre-spoken.

Answer 3

most likely a language of grunts and snorts of sorts

Answer 4

First, what do you mean by cavemen?  Homo erectus, Neanderthal, Homo habilis, etc...

Your question cannot be accurately answered without more information on what you mean by cave man.

Answer 5

That language is extinct already so nobody knows. But it probably was filled with sounds and grunts.

Answer 6

No one knows what the first language was. Humans evolved in Africa.

Answer 7

maybe of hand grunt snort or um so like you could move your hand up and that meant hi and hand down maybe meant yes or no.hard . to think of but...maybe something like that

Answer 8

no africans were first. hence why africa is called the cradel of civilization. then came the cave men of europe. i dont think cave men had a concrete language untill alil later in history.

Answer 9

"Cavemen" bring to mind the Geico commercials." The stereotype of the caveman is about as accurate as what you see in the commercials. (Not much if anything)

Both Neanderthal and early modern humans were know to have had the same hyoid bone.This bone allows speech. The presence of the bone shows that both species were capable of speaking.

The largest group of languages are the Indo-European super family of languages. Some 3 billion people speak a language found in this family. Scientists have developed a proposed IndoEuropean protolanguage (Translation: "This is what we guess the original first language was like.")

One could then say cavemen spoke IndoEuropean protolanguage.
