Origin of Language; afterthought (Origins)

Perhaps the issue of the epiglottis was skipped over from my previous description. Changes in advance of function are called exaptation's. The changes in palate shape, tongue muscles, the drop in the larynx to allow for proper bursts of air to allow speech, all preceded speech developing. It could not have developed without those preparations. These are changes out of thin air for no reasonable challenge response. Apes don't have that type of anatomy. Please tell me what drove those changes, none of which were necessary for life in general without speech? A series of IM experimentations? And the lower larynx with its trapdoor epiglottis is a constant threat to choking to death. (Heimlich maneuver!) Only design can account for this if one studies it logically.
