The statements that accurately describe the evolution of language in hominids are:
1. **Cave paintings represent one line of evidence of the development of language in hominids.**
2. **Scientists have limited evidence about the development of language in hominids.**
3. **Scientists agree that the complexity of language and linguistics took millions of years to develop.**
4. **Increased brain size and smaller jaw size are associated with the development of language.**
The statement "Hominid language originated as Latin and other languages are based on it." is inaccurate because Latin is a relatively recent language in human history and not the origin of language itself; rather, it is a descendant of earlier languages. Hominid language development is thought to have evolved from more primitive forms of communication.
