Without a language we wouldn't be able to communicate very well. Language helped early man to plan more successful hunts and pass information to their children. Language has helped us aquire mass amounts of knowlage, peaceful co-existance and understanding of cultures different than our own. Can you imagine never having heard the brilliance of Shakespeare!
