As the title implies, this will be over the happenstance of the development of ancient language. Be warned, this topic is not readily accessible and has difficult to process concepts.
Currently, a few theories stand out at needing recognition, the 'bow wow' theory: humans tried to imitate animal sounds in the creation of language, and 'emergence': the functionality became self representative. It is my understanding that likely the actual occurrence is some position between the two. Emergence does not occur in a vacuum, especially in such a complicated circumstance as ancient humanity had, and imitation does not create functionality in nearly as much of a clear and effective manner as presence within mechanisms. This leads to my personal theory of "naturalization".
Naturalization implies that language, rather than being a product of some vague and nebulous abstract mechanical singularity, is a product of natural physiological responses to self expressed stimuli becoming normalized and standardized. Similar to purring, each of these vocalizations have an intrinsic effect on the physiology, I believe this is the reason for the differences in language structures within the variety of human ethnos. On the topic of origins, I think it would be difficult to say whether origin of animal mimicry is the absolute source of human vocalization, regardless, it may be possible as animals have long since used it as a warning signal to other creatures. Whether or not early humans understood the reasons for such vocalizations is another issue in potential origin influences on ancient or modern language, but is not the point of this discussion. As these physiological correlations became more standardized, hedonistic stimulus seeking likely became the early driving force of development, combining multiple forms of vocalizations to study and create implicative meanings that would eventually give rise to early standardized language over simple vocalizations.

This paper briefly discusses the nature of another possible origin, active use via signalling. Though this seems unlikely as a potential foundation due to the nature of modern languages structure.
