    Communication began through body language, followed by speech. The Sumerians invented cuneiform, using simplified pictures to represent words. Ancient Egyptians used hieroglyphics, which were similar, but had many more words. The Sumerians' cuneiform was primarily used to keep inventory of stock, but the hieroglyphics frequently told stories. These are just some examples.
