The proto-language problem is important because human language seems like a distinct, set thing. But still, there had to a point "halfway" between human-language and not-human-language and would be a proto-language (primitive language-like systems [1]). Is a way of piping data a language or a proto-language? [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origin_of_language https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origin_of_language
