    TimeLine Of Communication

    Human communication was revolutionized with the origin of   speech approximately 500,000 years ago. Symbols were developed about 30,000 years ago. The oldest known symbols created for the purpose of communication were cave paintings, a form of rock art, dating to the Upper Palaeolithic age. The oldest known cave painting is located within Chauvet Cave, dated to around 30,000 BC. These paintings contained increasing amounts of information: people may have created the first calendar as far back as 15,000 years ago. The connection between drawing and writing is further shown by linguistics: in Ancient Egypt and Ancient Greece the concepts and words of drawing and writing were one and the same.
