The obvious importance of language naturally makes most people curious about it. Who first spoke? Why did they decide to? How did they figure it out? When did all this happen? The study of language is a vibrant field that attracts all sorts of people who want to learn about this crucial trait. Luckily for them language behaves in a manner akin to evolution. It is passed through generations and occasionally changes in the process. This means some evolutionary techniques could be applied to language. For example, if you could measure the rate of this evolution you might be able to work backwards and figure out how long it has been around.
