'Papa' is the daddy of ancient language
The word "papa" may have been one of the first utterances by our distant ancestors when language first developed many thousands of years ago.
A study by two linguists searching for the origins of speech has found that the word "papa" is present in almost 700 out of 1,000 languages, which they argue is more than a coincidence.
