Language evolution and computational capabilities: conceptualization of the first language units

Abstract This work addresses from the perspective of evolutionary pressure, delicate issue mechanisms and causes that are behind emergence faculty language among early Homo sapiens ancestors. It mainly focuses on motives or driving forces first units language. The latter defined in this paper, as vocal signals convey information meanings go far beyond usual repertoire non-human primates. They emerged a consequence to make sense principle fairness by probing equal amounts quantities context food sharing operations after collaborative labor. Early hominins realized learning how quantities, which should be regarded today most fundamental level for doing mathematics, is prerequisite sustainability labor (cooperation). ancestral computing innovation shown paper greatest achievement evolution lineage. By developing computational capabilities, passed successfully transition allowed them move instinct driven behavior, prevails animal realm, reasoning guided behavior processing two consequences.
