In the multitude of God's creation of animals, insects and birds man stands out unique and supreme because he is endowed with all the senses of hearing, seeing, talking, tasting, feeling and above all thinking and understanding. But all these senses have blossomed out in the course of many eons of life.
From historical evidence, we understand that man did not develop talking in the earliest stages of creation. As such he depicted his feelings, desires and anxieties by body actions. But such bodily actions were not the forte of only human beings. Even animals and birds even today, demonstrate their feelings by body actions.

The speechless man described his joys and sorrows by movements of the limbs and body. Quite often his joy took the form of some sort of rhythmic movement or dance. 
Later on he could indicate his happiness, valour, love and heroism by dance movements. Hence many artists and aesthetes believe that dance art was the very first fine art man acquired and as time passed by, developed speech, painting, sculpture and music.

In course of time, man started drawing on cave walls and other convenient places pictures of his routine life, such as hunting, fights etc. as exemplified in the caves of Altamira in France. Later on probably, man developed speech. The so far silent tongue started making different sounds which man used to convey his actions and thoughts. And so, as speech gained variety and beauty, man may have started utilizing writing to denote words and so the early literature began and finally man started using stone and wood to create artistic designs and figures giving rise to sculpture in general. And so the growth and development of all Fine Arts.
