Comment on Rock engravings made by Homo Naledi ~300k years ago

What kind of language did they have? The signs could be just signpost for a location "look for the rocks with the straight incisions"...but they would need some way to comunicate that to each others.

Bees can communicate a kind of "map" to other bees, but they don't have anything like a proper language.

I'm not aware of anyone teaching rodents to learn from maps, but I'd bet they could.
