That's probably not true.
Recorded history might not have begun until 5-6000 years ago, but it's reasonable to assume we were speaking _a long time_ before we figured out how to write - or before a system of symbolic logic was even developed.
Many fail to realize that as far back as 200,000 years ago, man was just as intelligent as we are now (we were, after all, the same species)- but they just had far fewer tools to help them along... and it's reasonable to assume (as we were already using crude tools before evolving to Homo Sapien) that we had a spoken language even before that.
Plenty of animals - not just humans - have language, after all.
