What do you think verbal language evolved from?

Well i mean verbal language as words and constructed sentences; so humans.
My point is, our common ancestors communicated with body language way before humans existed. Body language is way older, evolutionary, and therefore more ingrained in instincts.
Sorry for bad english, hope it makes sense

My cat has body language, and so do dogs. Bees have dances that can communicate locations of good loot to their brothers.
