Only with man who has seemed to have popped out of nowhere.
Apart from all those hominids we've got fossils of you mean? It is likely that these hominids did possess an intermediate level of speech, but unfortunately we can never know since they've all long since died out.
After years of experiments training chimps, it is doubtful whether true grammatical ability has ever been demonstrated in these animals.
I agree.
Much to the frustration of evolutionists.
Rubbish. There's nothing about it that even faintly challenges evolution, might I suggest you read some Stephen Pinker. In fact it would be better evidence against evolution if chimps could master language - for if they could, why don't they?
