Language evolved from a system of gestures to a system of words.

Over time, words have proven the advantages of using speech.
 Vocal speaking emerged throughout the evolution of hominids.
 Language development includes the use of physical gestures.
 As time went on, new situations arose that made vocal speech necessary.
 Vocal Language is simpler to use, easier to understand, and needs less effort, as well
as it is subjective
 Speaking is more accurate than using signs.
 Speaking is more practical than gesturing.

List of evidence
Speech
 pointing or gesturing with your hands or any other object.
 based on facial expressions, including the motions of the mouth, lips, and tongue; and
movements of the hands, arms, and body.
 Our modern chimpanzee ancestors from 5 or 6 million years ago were probably
unable to make noises, but they may have been able to communicate using their hands
and faces.
 It's possible that language barely developed 2 million years ago, thus gesturing is
most likely how they communicate.
 Speech just recently emerged during some species' evolutionary processes.
 It's possible that the evolution of speech was only finished some 170,000 years ago.
 Using sign language to convey important information is quite challenging.
 Given that our predecessors have used sign language since ancient times, the
transition from sign to speech must be quite difficult.
 However, gestures continue to be employed today.
 Great presenters actually employ gestures as much as they do words.
 We currently speak a modern language that combines words with gestures.

Gesture
 It can be utilized and understood uniformly by individuals from various geographical
areas.
 It aids in eradicating misunderstandings about particular issues.
 It is also preferable to utilize actual words as labels rather than just pictures of things.
 It aids in the separation of seemingly similar but truly distinct items.
 Words are also very useful for naming things and communicating information.
 Spoken words convey information more precisely and successfully.
 You don't need to see or look at the person you're communicating with in order to
send or receive a message.
  You can communicate verbally both during the day and at night.
