In order to build theories and interpretations, researchers on the origins of language significantly rely on data from paleoanthropology and archaeology. These fields indeed offer traces, more or less erased, of the physiology and behaviours of our predecessors. These cues indirectly open the door to hypotheses regarding their communication system at different time periods during prehistory. In other words, looking for and carefully evaluating the relevance of such ‘cues of language’ is an important task to highlight the cognitive and communicative development of our ancestors.
