@aynish writing down words, yeah. Yes, it couldn't've been invented without a language in place beforehand, but I still think text is more ground breaking than language. What's your word if your grandson can't read it 60 years later? Nothing.
Regarding language being a pre-human invention. Will, it might be true, though I don't know of that. Can you share a link or something? Who communicated using a language? Bees with their dances? If we consider it a language, then yeah.

I think this is the wrong way around, what's your text if your son can't read? oral traditions far outweigh any text in terms of legacy, here's an example of a standing tradition for 10k years

that's far longer than any written work has remained understandable by nearly double
historic and scientific evidence currently don't have the ability to prove that statement, here's a link https://www.sciencefocus.com/news/neanderthals-could-talk-like-humans-study-suggests/
