EVOLUTION  OF  WRITING: Origin and Development of Script Arts (Extracted from the book,  Reminiscence ) by Onyeji Nnaji I grew up in the part of the world where everything said by the mouth or scribbled by hands on the ground is attached great importance because, as the elders would say; they all have meanings. By this reason, as children, we became fixated and attracted to the several body artistic designs and marks on different walls, admiring them with the wishes that we had known how to scribble them like those people who are older than us.
