The human species , homo sapiens, is at least 40,000 years old. The Bible is picking up the origin of domestication of plants and animals ,cities, writing etc, and setting it as the origin of world. It is the origin of the written world, like that of the Bible.
Karl Marx wrote: "Ideas do not exist separately from language." and Charles is saying something similar. Languages are believed to be oral in origin with writing making them more permanent. I think verbally, but also think in terms of physical objects and diagrams. One autistic writer mentioned that she thinks primarily in visual terms. Since we can use written language, or at least a stream of bits to represent visual information or ideas, it seems safe to look at the scope of ideas as written laguage. -- Ron PS Cooking food originated over a million years ago before modern man appeared.
