How do we communicate?
Basically, we communicate by using the
tools available to us, namely symbols.
Verbal and nonverbal language are
essentially sets of commonly accepted
symbols to which we attach meaning.
Early Communications
Before human beings
created languages and
alphabets, they
communicated with
both sound and body
language.
Early Communications
Arguably, the earliest
humans related
feelings and stories
through sounds as well
as body and hand
gestures.
Early Communications
Some of these stories
became illustrations,
probably drawn in the
dust on the ground
before eventually
developing into
petroglyphs, or
paintings created on
cave walls.

Development of Language
Even though scholars
were creating ways to
write languages, many
people were unable to
obtain a formal
education and could
not read these
developing
alphabets . . .
Non-Verbal Communication
Individuals
communicate every
minute of the day
through non-verbal
gestures and their
choice of dress.
Communication
The ability to communicate is the primary factor
that distinguishes human beings from animals.
And it is the ability to communicate well that
distinguishes one individual from another.
