Broca's Area Vs Wernicke

Modern humans today have the option to go to their local grocery stores for food and water. However, that is not case with early humans, to survive they had to hunt, or gather their food. Harsh climate changes could cause a scarce food supply. Without any food to hunt or find, the small groups were forced to move. Early humans would eventually overcome some of these obstacles, by learning how to make simple tools. One of the biggest discoveries was how to start a fire (Wilkinson, 16). Harsh climates soon became bearable with the aid of fire. Approximately 120,000 years

The first tools developed during the Paleolithic Era were made from chipped stones, wood and bone, and "nets from plant fibers and animal sinew" (Holt, Rinehart, & Wilson, n.d.: 2). The Neolithic Era brought forth greater specialization. People began to make chisels, drills, and saws to address specific needs and also polished stones to create sharper and more defined points (Holt, Rinehart, & Wilson, n.d.: 2). Language scholars trace the development of the first forms of systematized language to this era: "The crucial evolutionary development that led to the burst in creativity in the Neolithic was the emergence of human language as a method for integrating across cognitive modules" (MacWhinney 2005: 383). During this era, the use of stones began to have a utilitarian purpose in a manner that showed more sophisticated thinking.

4. Humans used fire to ward off predators, adapt to colder climates, and to assist in hunting and gathering. Other technologies included stone tools which were used for both hunting and protection.

* Cerebrovascular Disease: More commonly known as stroke cerebrovascular disease can be cause by either a colt or blockage that cuts off blood flow to a part of the brain or by haemorrhage. In both cases there is damage or death of the brain tissue that can cause paralysis, speech disorder, swallowing problems and immobility. People with diabetes and high blood pressure are at higher risk of stroke.

The ancestral language of India was Sanskrit. Over time, Sanskrit evolved into Hindi and other Indian languages. The Indo-European language family is the largest in the world. The Indo-European language family is believed to have its origins in Eastern Europe. Indo-European offspring include languages such as Latin and the various Romance languages and Celtic languages among many others.

~Explanation A: In order to migrate from Africa, humans had to adapt to the different biomes around the world by strengthening certain skills. Being able to communicate through a complex language allowed hominids to pass down learned information

When looking through animal history, we humans have praised ourselves for our exceptional ability to communicate in an advanced manner. Whether we are listening or speaking, humans have crafted language into a powerful tool that is boundless and flexible against other arts. Moreover, through the perspective of building civilizations, communication has been the foundation of community. As Language is our most advanced form of communication; to what degree of value do we hold it in our society? Throughout the seminars, groups of people explored the history and significance of how we perceive language and the hidden advantages or disadvantages it provides.

A blockage in the blood vessels that carry blood to the back of the brain (vertebrobasilar arteries).

Scott (2000) suggests that closed head injury happens due to accident. When the skull has been knocked by a hard surface, the brain is twisted pushed against the skull which resulted contusion and damage to the frontal part of the left side of the brain which is dominant for language. Scott also emphasizes that the skull may be fractured due to the hit but the tissue coverings are unimpaired and there is no penetration of the skull. Nevertheless, patients with closed head injury will not be able to produce speech due to the damage. Therefore, their impairment can be considered as Broca’s aphasia. On the other hand, the other cause that can lead to Broca’s aphasia is open head injury. This injury is more severe than the closed head injury. Kaur and Wolff (2012) report that open head injury may cause diffusion of the skull because the shape of the skull is badly damaged and the tissue beneath it is completely destroyed. As a result, injured patient produces halting speeches which can be considered as Broca’s aphasia.

Over centuries we have seen the amount and complexity of languages all across the globe reduced. If this trend continues, we could see the number of world languages potentially reduced from 6,000 to 600 in the future. Colonization and urbanization has led to the abolishment of languages spoke by smaller and less dominant civilizations. McWhorter uses the Native Americans in North America and the Aboriginal

“80,000 years ago, man’s survival in a vast uncharted land depended on the possession of fire. For those early humans, fire was an object of great mystery, since no one had mastered its creation. Fire had to be stolen from nature; it had to be kept alive – sheltered from the wind ad rain, guarded from the rival tribes. Fire was a symbol of power and a means of survival. The tribe who possessed fire, possessed life.” (CITATION). There are four important elements that humans can produce themselves, water, air, earth and of course fire. Fire is a symbol of warmth and light now a days, but can bring pain and death. Back in the prehistoric era Neanderthals, earlier humans, did not have the knowledge we have today, so survival was a struggle

Early humans wandered the earth looking for food and shelter. They discovered that fire kept them warm and improved the taste and preservation of food. Once they could acquire food and preserve it, they were inspired to find ways to acquire more and more food, and soon needed a way of recording how much they had to trade with other gatherers and so they invented writing. More than just physical changes, mental adaption was crucial to human advancements.

The languages of hunter-gatherer societies cannot be used as our model for how languages arose because different languages were more likely to develop in agrarian societies, where populations are geographically separated from one another. Linguist agree that most languages of the world are derived from the process of linguistic divergence, or the development of different languages from an ancestral tongue. For example, Proto-Indo-European is thought to be the ancestral tongue of the Indo-European family of languages, which is the most spoken language family in the world. The Indo-European languages originated from the nomadic Aryans who settled in lands stretching from Western Europe to the Himalayan Mountains in Central Asia and beyond. As

Broca’s area is located in the frontal lobe of the left hemisphere. It’s involved in the production of coherent speech, it moves the needed muscles that are required for speaking.

There are nearly 7000 languages spoken in the world. Among them is the English language. Richard Lederer, a retired high school teacher chose this language to be the subject of his essay “English is a Crazy Language.” In the essay, Lederer describes English with respects to who uses it, when it is used and how it is used. They justify his claim that English is the most widely spoken language in the world.
