Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Scholars generally believe that human language developed around the time of the emergence of our genus, Homo, and that it was not present in earlier hominids. Therefore, option D is the correct statement. Option A is not entirely accurate, as some scholars believe that only Homo sapiens developed true language. Option B is a sweeping statement and cannot be applied universally based on evidence available. Option C is incorrect as language likely developed much earlier, and the Age of Exploration refers to a historical period in the 15th to 17th centuries. Option E is also inaccurate, as some evidence suggests that Neanderthals may have possessed some form of language.
