Why haven't humans

So I'm sure there is likely a very obvious answer but.

Why didn't humans evolve speaking just one common language to communicate.

Because they only needed to communicate with the humans local to them.

Every language evolves into something that is barely recognisable from what it once was. Look at English from a good few hundred years ago and compare it to what it is now. Over thousands of years the change would be drastic.

Even if it began with one language, as humans migrated all over the world, over tens or hundreds of thousands of years, we would end up with many different languages.

Take all the different dialects on our tiny little island. In spoken form, they are barely the same language.

That is my uneducated assumption.

I get that but still not sure why we developed completely different languages

I think it may be the opposite

It started as one language hundreds of thousands of years ago but as people spread across the earth languages evolved a bit like local dialects today

Makes sense and well thought out. But I'm still not sure

We’ll get there, it’ll be English eventually.

It might not be the most common language, but it is by far the most common second language.

I work in Europe every week, and Scandavians all speak great English. Dutch too. Even the French talk English if they’re dealing with the rest of the world.

If a guy from Germany is speaking to someone from Spain, they speak English.

Only the swingers clubs in Paris where people speak French so much…..luckily there’s other ways to communicate 🙈

No chance the Welsh just won't have it.

Russian and Chinese is also a possibility.

Life would be boring if we were all the same. We should celebrate the wonderful colours and shades of this beautiful world.

Besides how could us Welsh secretly slag all the English off if we all spoke the same language

"We’ll get there, it’ll be English eventually."

Our civilisation is just a tiny part of Earths history, let alone human history.

Eventually a great big rock (or many great big rocks) from space will come down and fuck us in the bum, decimating the human population and we'll start again with another language. Earth has been fucked many times in this way.

Or nuclear war will do the same.

Either way, we are just temporary.

Happy Tuesday everyone.

It probably did stem from one main pool of communication, 100s of thousands of years ago.

Then as the human population expanded, languages evolved further from the original source.

My real name, for example, sounds & reads similar in about 9 or 10 different languages...including Welsh, English, Dutch, French, Spanish, Portuguese, loads of Easter European languages & several Indian languages & Latin.. it also has the same meaning/ translation.

Our brain has some parts which have evolved to handle language. So there are conceptual similarities between most languages. But the language itself is different because we can make numerous sounds and symbols. It would be a massive coincidence if we end up developing same language everywhere

I've sometimes wondered if humans in different areas had slightly differently formed palates, lips and tongues which lead to them being able to form certain sounds that others couldn't. Meaning that language developed around those sounds.

However people have travelled since we could walk upright so there must have been ways of communicating.

Because the language tutors wouldn't be able to earn a living so God made everyone speak in different ways

Isolated people, some of whom bred with other human species would have developed in their small groups, with language developing with them. They had no global communication system, like the Internet, they were just busy surviving and being amazing in a dangerous world. Many didn't make it.

And cooperation wasn't very likely, amongst disparate tribes. Secrecy was an evolutionary advantage, which language differences helped to support.

Same reason we decended from apes yet apes still exist. Languages are living things, they change over time. For example, A mere 50 years ago, the population of Britain, would not understand how the word "like" had become a punctuation mark to be liberally scattered accross speach.

It’s happening through travel, scientific collaboration , most journals and travel

Info uses English now.

For most of history, up until around 10K years ago there was less than a few million people on the planet , spread out and only collaborating locally so it had no way to evolve into a single language like it is doing now

There’s no evidence of that. Collaboration was likely an evolutionary advantage, lots of evidence of that. Secrecy is a relatively new concept for humans.
