How does humanity perceive the world? Personally speaking, there a lot of approaches to know the world such as learn the experience from others people, read kinds of books. As far as I am concerned, language is one of the most indisapensable requirements of perceiving the world.
For whole humanity, there is no doubt that language extend the range of human knowledge since it was created.Before language exsited, the methods of people explore the world are always accidental and dangerous. For instance, one burned his hands when he played fire at first time and he could know fire is dangerous and will be carefull when he light the fire. Others, however, they did not know what happend that means some people will be burned again. So if there is a way which can express people feeling , emotiong, and thoughts, like language, people could acquire tons of knowledge and experience even they do not do it by themself .So language is bond to enhance the development of our evolution and civilization.
For individual, language is magical tool to understand different culture. Learning ancient culture is classic example, archaeologists found the old language and tried thier best to translate it. When old language was translated, may be we have chance to know what ancient culture would be.
