Before Language, There was Telepathy
Hidden in the deepest, darkest recesses of our human genomes are secrets only the ancient speechless knew. Before man could walk, before he grunted his agreement or disapproval, his ancestors may have communicated entirely without speech. This art slowly disappeared for most humans as evolution and harsh environments forced humans to adapt. Without the formalities of fully evolved vocal chords or a structured language with which to communicate, the world was silent but for the regular roaring of hungry carnivores always on the lookout for food.
Scientists tell us our earliest possible ancestors came evolved from amoeba-like sea creatures. Deep beneath the sea, it might be imagined that the only communication necessary was the natural instinct to survive and follow with like species. As the vast oceans subsided and land appeared, these amoeba-like humans evolved again and again, adapting to the environments in which they found themselves. Perhaps, a glint of the eye or a dart of the head was the first form of communication repeated over and over until the message was understood.
The most advanced societies of the earth's earliest formations understood a nod of the head, a raise of the brow or a variety of expressions to speak a silent kind of language. It's well known in scientific circles that the human brain has enormous potential for use. Yet, most humans use only a small quantity of that potential mental capacity. We call the ancient thinkers philosophers. Their mental processes bore validity for the idea of study and meditation. These are tools that help humans to delve into the deepest core of their intellectual capacity.
Science has never fully explained how a child prodigy like Mozart was capable of such enormous talent to compose whole symphonies and operas as a young boy. There is a possible link between the mental processes of a prodigy and that of the ancient telepathics. It's the ability to restore long forgotten memories of those in generations far removed from the present.
As humans advanced, certain humans remained endowed with the gift to reproduce the ability the ancient telepathics possessed. During times of greatest trial and societal upheavals, war, natural disasters and pestilence, these special humans kept their secret gift hidden. In the Dark Ages, these telepathics were referred to as sages. These people knew things others didn't and never would. In later societies, the ability to see events of the past and future more clearly was viewed as evil witchcraft.
It was easier to create a carnival-like aura of fortune telling than to see that certain individuals had a hypersensitivity and cognition. It was simpler to believe fortune telling was nothing more than predicting the future. Antagonists were absolutely certain this was impossible. Yet, the entire concept of telling a fortune has been seriously maligned. Those with the gift of heightened telepathic skills were laughed off as fortune tellers and seers.
The Ancient telepathics never sought to see the future. Telepathy was their only means of communication. Even today, there are tiny semblances of the gift of telepathy. For example, a newborn has only to look at his mother's face to know when she is angry, sad or happy. How does a newborn, with no advanced communication skills, know this? A newborn holds the clue to how ancient telepathics communicated through sensory perception. Facial expressions may have led to the ability for two highly telepathic individuals to communicate totally without words. This is similar to how sea creatures communicate through sonographic sounds. Sounds without words. Sounds emanating from silent movement only. Sounds based entirely upon mental telepathy. Mimes struggle to make their silent movements understood and to be translated into communications. Telepathic had only to gaze intently into each other's eyes and whole volumes of words were spoken silently.
In the world of words today, it is possible that human ability to communicate telepathically will resurrect from the ashes of intense high volume verbalizations. The resurrection has already begun. The advanced used of typing text into phones has already replaced verbal phone conversations. How many generations will it take before the cell phone is no longer needed and only silence and intense mental cross communication is effected? Will that be called futuristic telepathy?
