    Area of Science:

    • Linguistics
    • Evolutionary Biology
    • Anthropology

    Context:

    • The study examines the book "Das erste Wort" by Doris F. Jonas and A. David Jonas.
    • It delves into the origins and evolution of human language.

    Purpose:

    • To analyze the multi-strata model of human language.
    • To discuss the potential role of the female sex in early language creation.

    Summary:

    • Human language is proposed to have distinct strata: the pongid stratum (emotional clicks), global words (mama, papa), and elementary parallels (shared root words).
    • The deep stratum includes instinctive phonemes like the labial click in infants.
    • The archaic Bushman language exhibits a well-developed pongid stratum.

    Impact:

    • Provides a framework for understanding language evolution through distinct developmental layers.
    • Suggests a new perspective on the historical influence of gender in linguistic development.
