Example: Birds develop their songs to communicate. If those birds spend their first seven weeks without hearing other birds, they will instinctively produce songs or calls, but those songs will be not normal, in other words, like the songs that the other birds normally sing.
Example: When bees find another nectar source, they go back to the beehive and performer a specific dance to indicate the direction where the honey is. However, if the honey was moved, they would not be able to find the nectar. The bees could only communicate that the nectar was toward a horizontal path, but they cannot create a message to indicate that the nectar is now located in a vertical path.
Example: When a cat meows to his or her owner, the owner is likely to understand the message that the animal is relating to that immediate time and place, but if the owner asks the cat “Where have you been?”, the owner will get the same “meow” response. The answer will not change because animals cannot refer to different tenses.

Larynx: Lower position and contain vocal folds.
Head: Above the spinal cord.
Tongue: Flexible muscle.

- Upright position - Bipedal locomotion - Role of front limbs (brain)
Examples 1. The transition that our ancestors made to an upright posture, with bipedal (on two feet) locomotion, and a revised role for the front limbs. 2. The reconstructed vocal tract of a Neanderthal.
Example: A group of human beings might develop a set of hums, grunts, groans, and cries while they were lifting and carrying large bits of trees and other heavyweight objects.
Example: An object flew by, making a CAW-CAW sound, and humans would name it and refer to it according to the sound it made.
Second Experiment
It is important to know that all the other cases of isolated children tended not to confirm this "divine source theory" because young children who lived in isolation grew up without any language.
Around the year 1500, King James the Fourth of Scotland tried a similar experiment. As a result, the children were reported to have spontaneously started speaking Hebrew, confirming the King’s belief.
First Experiment
2,500 years ago, the Egyptian pharaoh tried the experiment with two newborn babies. After two years of isolation, except for the company of goats and a mute shepherd, the two infants were reported to have spontaneously emitted, not an Egyptian word, but it was identified as the Phrygian word “bekos”, meaning “bread.” For him, the children developed “the original language” given by God.
