There was no recorded use of sign language in "cavemen days" because nothing was recorded back then.

One of the earliest written records of a sign language is from the fifth century BCE, in Plato's Cratylus, where Socrates says: "If we hadn't a voice or a tongue, and wanted to express things to one another, wouldn't we try to make signs by moving our hands, head, and the rest of our body, just as dumb people do at present?"


Sign language is also mentioned in the New Testament, written around the year 60.

The earliest recorded use of sign language dates back to the 5th century BC in ancient Greece. A philosopher named Socrates described a method of communication using hand gestures and signs.
