Preposterous- cavemen had no language but they could reason, think and learn.

A child learns how to eat solid food and how to walk. That a square peg fits into a square hole. This has nothing to do with language.

people who deaf and mute and cannot read can still reason and solve problems.

It's one of those things that's basically impossible to study because language leaves no signs until you get to writing.
