When did written language develop? 2. what is the difference between the position of the larynx in humans and other primates? 3. what is the basic idea behind the 'bow-wow" theory of language origin? 4. where is the pharynx and how did it become an important part of human sound production? 5. why do you think that young deaf children who become fluent in sign language would be cited in support of the innateness hypothesis?

Abstract

Explanation:

. The cuneiform script, created in Mesopotamia, present-day Iraq, ca. 3200 BC, was first. It is also the only writing system which can be traced to its earliest prehistoric origin.

Numbered answers in the explanation

Explanation:

1. The earliest carbon dated written fragments were as far back as 3,200 bc in Mesopotamia; present day Iraq.

2. The Larynx in humans is slightly placed higher than in other primates, though those of human infants are roughly in same position with other primates.

3. The basic concept behind the Bow Wow language was to identify animals by imitating their sounds.

4. The Pharynx is the part of the throat behind the mouth, it start from the nose and ends at the wind pipe. It links the larynx with the rest of the mouth, thus amplifying the sound waves from the larynx.

5. It should be sited because sign language is learned and at such it credits the innateness hypothesis that language can be created.
