Apparently, there’s a lot of debate in the anthropological community
regarding whether or not homo erectus could speak.
Here’s a
page with a bunch of interesting articles that address this question. I’ve
only read the first article, but I found it very interesting. It suggests
that homo erectus would not have been able to speak in a modern sense, but
was probably developing an increasingly elaborate communication system.
