You're right the word "invent" was the wrong one to use. Our early
humans didn't invent language, they sensed the Dynamic Quality of it.
They just felt it was good. This, after all, is the essense of the
Quality theory.
So, the Dynamic Quality came first, then the language, then, much much
later, came the intellectual understanding of the need for language.
