Humans started with sounds, then added words. A long time ago, people made simple noises to talk, like saying “Ugh!” when they were tired or “Ah!” when they saw something cool. Over many years, these sounds became more complicated, and people began using them in special ways to tell stories, ask questions, and make friends.
Examples
- A group of kids playing hide-and-seek shout “Found you!” just like early humans might have used simple sounds to say “I found my friend.”
- If someone is mad at another person and shouts “Ugh!”, it's similar to how early humans might have used simple sounds for communication.
