"Speaking" as humans do is just a highly sophisticated development of vocal communication as used by many animal species.

There is no evidence when 'language' in the modern sense started to develop in humans. An educated guess by scholars puts it at "at least" 100,000 years ago, which is probably a safe guess. Some scholars even put the possible start of modern speech at about 200,000 years ago.
