New research has shown the same brain activity is used in language production and the making of complex tools. The researchers tested the brain activity of expert stone toolmakers while they completed a stone tool-making task and a language test. The brain patterns for both tasks correlated, which suggests both tasks require use of the same part of the brain. Charles Darwin was the first to suggest tool-use and language may have co-evolved.
