1.Neanderthals Cave Paintings

Lascaux Caves is the setting of a complex of caves in southwestern France famous for its Paleolithic cave paintings. These paintings are estimated to

be 17,300 years old. They primarily consist of images of large animals, most of which are

known from fossil evidence to have lived in the area at the time. In 1979, Lascaux was added to

the UNESCO World Heritage Sites list.

2. Petro glyphs

The next step in the history of communications is petroglyphs, carvings into a rock surface. It took about 20,000 years for homo sapiens to move from the first cave paintings to the first

petroglyphs, which are dated to around 10,000BC.

In Ancient China, soldiers stationed along the Great Wall would alert each other of

impending enemy attack by signaling from tower to tower. In this way, they were able to transmit a message as far away as 750 km. The

North American Indians also communicated via smoke signal. Each tribe had its own

signaling system and understanding.

6. Pigeon post

Pigeon post is the use of homing pigeons to carry messages. Pigeons were effective as messengers due to their natural homing abilities. The pigeons were transported to a destination in cages, where

they would be attached with messages, then naturally the pigeon would fly back to its home

where the owner could read his mail.

Nonverbal communication

Nonverbal communication is the sending or receiving of wordless messages. We can say that

communication other than oral and written, such as gesture, body language, posture, tone of voice or

facial expressions, is called nonverbal communication. Nonverbal communication is all

about the body language of speaker.
