We co-evolved with language - the evidence is our adaptations to control over the voicebox, tongue, lips, etc.


Yes, that is what I meant though in retrospect I see I didn’t make that entirely clear. What I meant was that language and vocalizations go way, way back than any ancestor remotely human-like.

Where you draw the line between mere “vocalizations” and “language” is a pretty open question, IMO.
