Pointing behaviour in humans usually emerges in the first few months of an infant's life, before any language skills. By one year of age, around 50% of infants use pointing to draw attention to objects out of reach.
It's not currently known to what extent pointing is a 'learned' - or whether it's a completely innate behaviour.
The emergence of pointing is a central developmental achievement. Yet, little is known on its ontogenetic roots.
