What came first the chicken or the egg? Maybe an equally confusing question could be: is nonverbal communication such a big part of the way people communicate because we depended on it for survival when we were babies? Or did we depend on nonverbal communication for survival because it was such an important part of the way people communicate?
In either case, it's interesting to think that during the stage of our lives when we have so many needs, and so little control of our emotions, we also have such a limited, if not nonexistent, vocabulary. How else would anyone know what little people need if not for nonverbal communication?
I love this little collage of pictures! My sister-in-law made it to help teach my nieces about emotions. It's amazing to me how well my nieces were able to recreate some of the emotions through their nonverbal language.
