Dear god, why did language evolve

Language was designed by evolution to allow rapid transmission of information on precisely 3 topics: Food, sex, hierarchy position.

What about science? Poetry? Mathematics?

Admittedly a few perverts take an intrinsic non-sexual interest in beauty itself, but that's just a byproduct. A sort of effluent from the evolutionary sawmill.

Great ways to get yourself food, sex, and hierarchy position.

God, every time we talk I feel worse about myself.

That's called clarity, ape.
