The origins of Language?

OK OK soo, remember how I said I get hung up on a certain topic and then explore it to partial-exhaustion? Yes I do that all the time…

And this week, or the past two rather, has been the origins of language for me.. As I`ve always been personally drawn to foreign languages and have pretty much covered several during my study years, I`ve always found that there`s such a deep connection between a group`s culture, geography, behavior and language. I`ve always thought that they shape and mold each-other especially with culture and language.

Always considered that you can`t fully understand a culture or a group of people without (fully) understanding their language, how they use it, idiomatic phrases.

Have you ever experienced reading a book in its original written language and in your native tongue translation and felt it had a different or had more meaning in the original language, than in its translation?

For example Swedes have 25 words for describing snow,  the  Eskimos have 50 to describe the same while Romanian has only  15 to describe winter & winter activities as a whole. For example the Portuguese word "Saudade" cannot be directly translated into English or almost any other language. The closest it gets to is Romanian "dor" . Term which may need a 3-4 paragraph explanation in itself, but at its most unjust explanation means "longing".

So I started thinking how did humans even start first of all speaking (releasing sounds with their mouth) and reach the complexity of constructed language. There`s a few theories out there like Chomsky`s biological  single chance mutation that somehow got this "language gene" created in one human and then continued to spread through replication/reproduction.

There`s others arguing that language is a continuous process and has emerged as a result of smaller cultural and social phased progress, like initially using body movements as a communication process, to face movements as a communication process, to mouth sounds-language as a communication process. But no linguist so far has been able to fully explain or fully theorize how various different languages emerged in various different parts of the world. Some explain it as a need of emotions expression, others as an imitation of bodily movement and vibrations, etc.

In any case I`ve found it fascinating that we have reached such a highly evolved stage in evolution where we use language in so much of everything we do in life, from simple group tasking, to education, art, music, science and technology with programming and machine learning, yet we have not fully comprehended or understood the emergence of complex communication (language).

It`s funny how some things people take as a given, assimilate as given and use to build, but don`t fully comprehend. I`ve always had this nagging feeling that real ascendance or evolution both spiritually and biologically lies in our abilities to grasp and comprehend all of the complexities that compile and create our existence. Could that be what Nietzsche`s super-human was supposed to be? Will we eventually be able to move from mouth communication to mind-communication, where we don`t even need to move any part of our body to interact and externalize communication? :)

If anyone figured it out, please let me know haha
