Writing is something that came along much later.  According to traditional estimates, if humanity had existed for 24 hours, then writing only came along at about 11.07 p.m. Speech came first before writing. Writing has certain advantages, it’s a conscious process. When people write, they can look backward and can do things with language that are much less likely if they’re just talking.
