every animal has some kind of language. Zoologists identified green monkey call of "careful, a lion!" Or "careful, an eagle!"
But our-sapiens- language is way advanced and one reason for it is gossip theory, that our language became advanced because we lose to gossip, to talk about others.
Gossips led to the creation of fiction and imagination. And it kept us together.

But then comes the work of collective fiction and imagination which holds big corporations together. Common beliefs. Two army men can die for each other even if they don't know each other because they believe in the existence of their nation. Two lawyers who have never met can combine together to defend a complete stranger because they both believe in laws, justice, human rights, and the money paid in fees, two religious people who have never met will go and build a hospital because they believe in one God.
Yet none of these things exists outside the stories that people invent and tell one another. There are no gods in universe, no nations, no money, no human rights, no laws and no justice outside the common imagination of human beings
gossip helped us make more connections but sociological research shows that people can neither intimately know, nor gossip effectively about, more than 150 human beings.
