Imagine a world where humans never developed language—no spoken words, no written symbols, no sign language. How would human thought, social organization, and culture be different? Consider the relationship between language and thought as explored by linguists and philosophers like Sapir, Whorf, Chomsky, and Pinker. Would conceptual thinking still be possible? How would knowledge transmission across generations work? How would abstract concepts like justice, mathematics, or philosophy emerge without linguistic tools? Discuss how this hypothetical scenario illuminates the role of language in human cognition, social structure, and our understanding of the world. Consider evidence from studies of feral children, deaf communities without established language, and non-human primate communication.
