If you're really interested about who, how, and why languages first formed in human society, there's actually a really good book about exactly this I just read, called "Adam's Tongue", by David Bickerton.

Basically, a lot of the existing theories about how language first formed revolve around either hunters trying to cooperate with each other, or infants trying to convey needs to their mothers, and tends to involve studying primate communications. This guy does a pretty good job of taking apart those theories, and looking at other animal communication systems (it turns out human language's closest relative may actually be bees' dancing and ant hormones), and his theory on the origin of language in humanity as a species is much more believable than just about anything else I've read or heard of. :)
