when the apes were learning to use tools.
What ideas did you have? Could you elaborate.
Part of the study of linguistics is the history of writing. The idea of
combining technology with the basics of art making and marking, ergo
symbols? Use of symbols as writing. Inventing new symbols for new language?
Technology as the next step in mark making in human evolution on a global
scale? What are the implications?
