Primal Primer 5 (Mentality)
The first evidence of written language known as cuneiform dates back to over 5000 years ago in Mesopotamia in the function of accounting ledger. Going further back, proto attempts of communication through the use of art and symbolism appear globally 40,000 years ago in caves throughout Europe and Indonesia. These pieces all tell stories, keep record, and transmit information of our ancestors in archaic time capsules of thought and insights from prehistory.
Words Are Tool
Communicating through symbols was critical in planning and strategy of our ancestors, and remains important in the same context to this very day albeit in different forms publication, photo, or computer code.

It may be surprising just how cathartic and strategic simple scribblings can be.
