I'm curious, what's the history behind the accents in the all the worlds, or anthropology behind it. Why do you humans have different accents, speak different languages, and use didn't slang in the same language?

The short answer for different accents is that language changes, but people speak similarly to people they're in contact with. So without any outside influence, you'll get different accents, then dialects, then languages over the course of many generations. But there's almost always outside influence, so English in Louisiana is affected by Cajun French, while English in West Texas is affected by Spanish.

The Tower Of Babel
The story is found in Genesis 11:1-9 as follows:
1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. 2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. 3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar. 4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. 5 And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children builded. 6 And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. 7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. 8 So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. 9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel (confusion); because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth
