Though they were not capable to write letters and read they tried to communicate using signs and signals in a way which others could understand correctly. When time passed, it was understood that these are very primary ways of transmitting ideas and they recognized the limitations of using these methods, consequently many developed methods of communication were discovered. Also the importance of literary for man was supported by finding alternative which was of better communication.
