I. Make a precis of the given passage, also give a suitable heading" (20) 'The official name of our species is homo sapiens; but there are many anthropologists who prefer to think of man as homo Fabcr-thc smith, the maker of tools It would be possible. I think, to reconcile these two definitions in a third. If man is a knower and an efficient doer, it is only because he is also a talker In order to be Faber and Sapiens, Homo must first be loquax, the loquacious one. Without language we should merely be hairless chimpanzees. Indeed \vc should be some thing much worse. Possessed of a high IQ but no language, we should be like the Yahoos of Gulliver's Travels- Creatures too clever to be guided by instinct, too Self-centered to live in a state of animal grace, and therefore condemned forever, frustrated and malignant, between contented apehood and aspiring'humanity. It was language that made possible the accumulation of knowledge and the broadcasting of information. It was language that permitted the expression of religious insight, the formulation of ethical ideals, the codification to laws, It was language, in a word, that turned us into human beings and gave birth to civilization.


Preci:

The quality of language being a primary source is much weighty over all other human skills,that makes man superior to animal.without language man is just hairless silent bodies. No matter how sharp and self centred he is ,but without language he is much worse than any other species. gathering of knowledge , religious awareness, communication, social interactions ,rules and laws,all these are the result of language ,that ultimately created the civilization .
