whose voice is this anyway?

something I recently heard on the internet, "Before speech what did humans hear in their heads."

Now this might seem odd because we all have an internal voice in our head AT ALL TIMES and it's virtually impossible to imagine what it would be like to THINK without hearing words in our heads.

And that, for me, is a great question.

Of course, it implies that if we 'evolved' from apes there was once a time when pre-humans didn't THINK as we do today. In the same way that birds communicate with birdsong and posture, pre-humans were fundamentally different to the humans of today. Maybe this is why they painted pictures, that's how their brains started to communicate by seeing, then replicating their desires by painting on walls with coloured powders.

But then Modern Man started to go insane and hear these voices in our heads...

AND WHOSE VOICE IS THIS ANYWAY?

I mean, that voice your hearing, right now, in your head as you read, whose voice is that? You'll probably say, "It's my reading voice, it changes per writer." and then the real question is HOW DO YOU KNOW WHICH VOICE TO ADOPT?

And another thing, the voice YOU SPEAK WITH whose voice is that? It's not yours, it's just a mutated replica of something else, in the same way that bird song is a mutated replica of earlier-heard songs.

So, you, reader, who are you?
