No, you actually can't.
Humans existed for 10s to 100s of thousands of years without text. or even words for that matter.

I disagree: it is language that makes us human.
I disagree. You're still human if you're deaf and mute. Our intellectual processing powers, or of animals for that matter, has nothing to do with language.
Being deaf and mute doesn't imply lack of language. But being unable to communicate absolutely strikes me as non-human.
