Answer:
Language and religion arose in both isolation and as a result of overlapping with other human groups. For example, because trade existed (including commodities trading) from north of Lake Superior to the tip of Brazil, sign language existed hundreds of years before Europeans arrived in the Americas. Languages were different because of geographical isolation for thousands of years. Most groups were semi-nomadic.

Distance creates different dialects. A different dialect can easily morph into a separate language. Even among English speaking people, I sometimes need subtitles to understand what in the world they are saying.

everybody tends to pronounce words slightly differently and prefer to use different terms for the same things. groups sometime became isolated as for example because of migrations. The pronunciations drifted over generations, words combined to make new terms and old ones fell out favor.

Other civilizations had their own way of speaking, then it just evolved.

When different groups are isolated for tens of thousands of years, the small changes that happen every day, build up to make new languages.
