I got this from another thread, see link for full text. This is what Burke and Ornstein theorize in their book the Axe Makers Gift. Message 30470172 What fascinated me was the million-year plateau, the long period that passed when not much changed in stone-tool sophistication. Then suddenly, about 100,000 years ago, all the complexity we witnessed in Tixier’s tools began to appear. We estimate that human language emerged about 100,000 years ago as well. This is the point when language quickly becomes almost essential to complex thought. For decades, scholars have sought to link the appearance of language to all the grand things we humans do. I recalled that it was when Tixier provided the verbal narrative to the toolmaking process that it became so clear to us. A word says a lot, and the resulting savings on the mind’s resources is huge.
