Languages

Can we really determine who or what created (and/or invented) the first language? of course not. What really intrigues me is how people could really decide on an official language. For example, we all know the word "tree." it refers to the big leafy thing in your backyard that makes oxygen for us. My question is who decided that a tree, should be called a tree? Was the word invented when the cavemen were making random noises and making hand motions? maybe. But I stopped to wonder who came up with so many common words, or even words in general.
