Language in the Ice Ages

Article Abstract:

The study of the beginning and significance of human language is filled with controversy and debate. Archeological findings reveal that humans by the Upper Paleolithic period were fully modern biologically and in terms of behavior. Moreover, the symbolism in their art show that they had linguistic abilities as highly developed as that of modern humans. Hoever, archeological record provides scant evidence of the use of either language or symbolism.

What were the Ice Ages?

Article Abstract:

The Ice Ages' legacy to the world as it is known in modern times can be seen not only in the spectacular mountains and lakes but also in the many species that evolved during the period. Most of European prehistory occurred during the Ice Age which began with the formation of the great Antarctic ice sheet and ended when the last great ice sheets retreated to the poles and mountains. It was also during this epoch that Homo sapiens evolved.
