Which came first: thought or language?
Thought Came First
Thought came first.
Without thinking, we cannot do anything.
We cannot sit, speak, type, solve problems, or invent anything.
We have to consciously or subconsciously think in order to do most things necessary for daily life.
Language is "the ability to acquire and utilize complex systems of communication". When we think, it's different from person to person. Some people think in words, some in pictures, and some in abstract little thingies that they can't describe.
People of ancient days couldn't think in words, so they thought in pictures, in emotions, in existing things.
I believe thought came first.
