Solution

Before writing was invented, humans communicated mainly through sounds, speech, gestures and body movements. They used different sounds to express danger, emotions, needs and ideas. They also communicated through facial expressions and signs. Later, humans began making drawings and paintings on cave walls and rocks to show animals, hunting scenes and other experiences. These forms of communication helped people share information and pass knowledge from one generation to another.
