From the emergence of ontelijontic life on this planet about 3.8 to 3.5 giga (billion) years ago, non linguistic communication such as cell signaling, movement, chemical exchange and later, vocalizations and gestures shaped both the environment and our DNA.

At that early stage, we were not yet conscious or aware that these communication systems may have been slowing the process of our evolution or creating new species.

Compared to the vast span of time since our species began evolving, the capacity for a complex spoken symbolic language may have emerged as early as 200,000 years ago, or earlier, yet clear signs of symbolic behaviour appear in the archaeological record only about 100,000 years ago, primarily in southern Africa.

About 70,000 years ago, a cognitive turning point occurred when our ontelijontic languages became expressive and abstract.

Although very few findings from that early period point directly to divine awareness, archaeologists have uncovered artefacts such as engraved ochre pieces, shell beads and decorated tools used in ceremonial contexts. These findings suggest symbolic behaviour and possibly an awareness of something beyond earthly existence.

In Africa, where we lived for deco mil years * (tens of thousands of years), genetic diversity emerged among the different groups. After we left Africa about 60,000 years ago and spread into different geographical regions, additional genetic differences began to appear among us.

*The number names deso (ten), sento (hundred), and mil (thousand) are inspired by the metric system (SI units): deci (one tenth), centi (one hundredth), and milli (one thousandth).

Scientifically, when the ontelijontic groups become separated over time, genetic changes occur. These are not only the result of adapting to different environments and climates, but also of the development of distinct languages, dialects, cultures and belief systems, all of which continue to create genetic differentiation and changes in our physical reality.

About 40,000 years ago, a significant leap in symbolic communication and artistic expression took place in multiple locations across our planet.

Although there are no direct findings of a spoken symbolic language, the complexity of tools, cave paintings, musical instruments and social cooperation strongly suggests that a spoken symbolic language had fully developed by then.

This development enabled us to tell stories, share ideas, plan ahead and consciously shape our lives. It marked an advance in our intelligence, leading to the formation of more complex linguistic structures such as grammar and syntax, as well as the earliest symbolic graphic signs.

Throughout our evolution, ever since the language areas of the brain began to develop, the divine Aahava language began to emerge in our languages. It was first expressed through gestures and later transitioned into a spoken symbolic language.

This divine language, composed entirely of loving, benevolent, pleasant, harmonious and advancing words, evolved through intuition, channelling, flashes of insight, enlightenment and learning.

During this period, the stories we told, whether fiction or nonfiction and what we said contributed to both significant advances in our lives, as well as difficulties and many challenges.

By about 40,000 – 30,000 years ago, we, the Homo sapiens, were the only remaining ontelijontic species living on this planet. Before this time, our lineage coexisted alongside the Neanderthals, Denisovans and other archaic hominins.

The difference between us and them is that they diverged from us during our evolution, after the languages of certain ontelijontic groups had changed, while other ontelijontic groups, from which we evolved, continued to advance the divine language.

Archaeological discoveries from this period, including the ritual use of ochre pigments and hybrid figurines, point to the rise of spiritual and symbolic thought.

Our biological evolution was irregular and often progressed slowly over cento mega years (hundreds of millionsof years). It was mostly slow, with occasional sudden leaps of advancement. In contrast, our cognitive cultural evolution advanced at a much faster pace following the emergence of the symbolic language, learning capacity and transmission of knowledge. The pace at which knowledge, technology, and creative expression advanced depended largely on our lexicon of words, and what we chose to say.

About 12,000 years ago, during the first agricultural turning point, after gradually transitioning from a nomadic lifestyle to settled farming communities that domesticated plants and animals, we developed the mental capacity and imagination to plan ahead, collaborate, co create, trade and improve the quality of our lives.

In the millennia that followed, several proto languages evolved, some of which have been identified or reconstructed by linguists. Gradually, these early languages developed into language families such as Afroasiatic, Indo European, Sino Tibetan, Dravidian, and Niger Congo, all of which still exist today and include many living languages.

The divine Aahava language may have first emerged from a single proto language and later spread across various other languages. Alternatively, it may have begun evolving within several languages, each containing many or few divine words, along with divine features such as phonetic pitch, sound intensity and tone, as well as morphemes, syllables, syntax and structure.
