Man began to eat a particular food that started his brain to grow, a neo cortex formed above his primal brain and abstract thought began to occur, reason, and finally...language. And with that, there was leaving eden.
Remember, in the beginning there was the word, and the word was god. This is often interpreted as word=language
also, consider that without language or the ability to communicate abstract concepts and ideas, none of us would be here communicating with each other.
