The men invented the sibilants, the gutturals, and the dentals.

Women developed the labials, the fricatives, and the linguals.

Now THAT is scary. Think of the possibilities....

Sibilants/gutterals/dentals : advanced grunts, whistles, screams for males. Labials/fricatives/linguals : mothers cooing to their babies. The basic question though is which developed the first words, sentences, language. A $2 bet : it was WOMEN. A simple scientific experiment would settle the issue : ask a telephone expert or FBI wiretapper : at any given moment(or day)on your average telephone network, what % is female voices vs male voices?

You already know the answer, yes? You see, “talking” for females has as much to do with emotions/brain-body chemistry as it does with actual information content. The reverse is true for men.

So it was WOMEN who invented language, betcha $2 on it.
