Description
""The Origin of Language in Gesture Signs and Involuntary Sounds"" by Gerald Massey is a comprehensive exploration of the roots of human language. Massey argues that language did not simply evolve from grunts and guttural sounds, but rather from a complex system of gestures, signs, and involuntary sounds. Drawing on a wide range of sources, including anthropology, linguistics, and psychology, Massey explores the ways in which early humans communicated and how this communication evolved over time. He also delves into the role of culture and socialization in the development of language, as well as the impact of language on human thought and perception. This book is a thought-provoking and insightful look at one of the most fundamental aspects of human existence.THIS 64 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Natural Genesis Part 1 or the Second Part of a Book of the Beginnings, by Gerald Massey.
