Sorry if I used the wrong flair. I used google to look up the meanings of each one, and I picked the one I thought best matched.

I love everything about the history and development of languages (ESPECIALLY in the context of human evolution). I tried to google this, but everything that comes up is about babies learning a language. What I want to know is, do we know which words are "decided on" first, for lack of a better term? My guess would be critical information like "food" or "danger" or something like that, but I don't know if I'm right.
