The Three Stage Digital Evolution of Linguistic Humans
Abstract
The complex evolution of life is a digital evolution that took 4 billion years from the birth of life to the ultimate birth of linguistic humans, driven by the biochemical reactions of two kinds of nucleic acids, DNA and RNA. Human language is also digital, and the linguistic evolution began with the acquisition of the digital signal of syllables, which later became letters that do not disappear, and Bits that show interactivity. After the generation of the physical signals of syllables, letters, and bits, the optimization of neural circuits and logic in the human brain are optimized to take advantage of the characteristics of the signals. This led to the development of grammar, concepts, and Forward Error Correction.
