Dad?
Yes?
Before humans, when there were only dinosaurs…
Dinosaurs and some other animals.
Yes, then. Then… where were the
languages?
Well, there were no languages then. After humans
evolved, they started communicating with each other in so many sounds. Then the sounds became codes with meanings – like if I scream “Kree” that means there is a tiger
over there, everyone better watch out. And when you scream”Aah” it means “there is
food over there.” Then it evolved to
structured words that can convey more, like “Kree koo see” means”
there is a tiger over there, everybody join together with spears”. That’s how
sentences evolved. Sentences of
different kind were made, like the one which you can ask, the one which you
can pass information and the ones you
use to express feelings. Rules
became complex to make complex talks
and it becomes a complete language. Since people were isolated in so
many places then, so many different languages evolved.
Okay..but
But?
How did food people eat evolve?
Food did not evolve with us, in that sense. People
started hunting for food, then they discovered
what are edible, and what was not. Some people might have eaten some mushroom and found it is tasty and good. Some others might have
eaten poisonous mushrooms and people knew then they can kill. Finding out
something that is already there, but you did not know of is called
discovery. For example, people
did not know we breathe in oxygen from air
till some hundreds of years back , but we had been doing it all the time!
How did they discover Karate
then?
Karate was not discovered. Ancient
people invented some good forms of fighting and then it was developed
further for better fighting. Karate is
one of those fighting style inventions, though parts of it kind of evolved too.
The Karate you learned, Shotokan was developed by Great
Master Funakoshi. Regarding
inventions, Karate is not a good example, since it has heavy elements of evolution and discovery too. Have you ever
thought how did they make a bicycle?
How?
There were only horse and bullock
drawn carts as forms of transportation. A genius, believed to be a guy named McMillan created a machine
which will go on two wheels if
you peddle it fast enough. Everyone greatly benefited from this
invention.
Cool.
Then an animal doctor named Dunlop bought a bicycle for his son and his son was getting neck problems and headache because riding the bicycle was very bumpy and harsh. He thought of some way to reduce the shock and bumps in a bicycle ride and came up with the idea of making rubber rings around the iron wheels. Thus Dunlop invented the tyres we use today.

Okay.
Evolution means something came
into existence or changed by itself.
Discovery means something was already there, but no one knew until someone found out.
Invention means it was not there but
someone thought of it and made it happen.
Languages evolved. Poisonous mushrooms
were discovered and bicycle was invented.
