The Evolutionary Chain of Eight Forms of Language: Speech, Writing, Mathematics, Science, Computing, the Internet/World Wide Web, Search Engines and AI Applications
I. Introduction
In this investigation I consider extending the hypotheses I developed in two of my former explorations of the evolution of language where I define a language as a system of both communication and a way to create and organize information. By the evolution of language, I am not focused on the way spoken languages evolved for example from Latin to the various romance languages in use today such as Spanish, Portuguese, Catalan, French, Italian and Romanian. Rather I am interested in the way speech evolved into writing and then with a notation for numbers into mathematics. And then how writing and mathematics evolved into science. And then from science how language evolved into computing, the Internet including the World Wide Web, search engines and artificial intelligence (AI). So that I arrived at my new hypothesis that there exists an evolutionary chain of eight languages consisting of: 1. speech, 2. writing, 3. mathematics, 4. science, 5. computing, 6. Internet/Web, 7. search engines and 8. Artificial Intelligence
