@MusicMan53100 Thats not really what the video is about, sure all animals can communicate, but do they use language? You should watch the whole video before arguing with it, a beaver can not use syntax, can not make sounds (words) to represent objects, and these are the things that language is about, its not just communicating but using the communication on a more complex level.

Japanese does not use spacing much in sentences. So, it would be extremely difficult for a person who doesn't know Japanese to recognize separations between words.

No, let's not look at a rehearsed video of a long-time human handler with a chimp and conclude anything. Let's put the chimp or benobo in with a previously unmet human and see if the chimp (or anything related) can understand anything at all, and then respond in any meaningful way, other than basics, like "food", "eat", etc. No. Chimps can't do it, except under extraordinary conditions with lots of rehearsing. Extinct close cousins, yes. Existing related species, no.

Sir, what You say up to 2 min 40 in the above video is very wrong - You need to try harder and hence the entire scientific inter - twinned mixture construct that fails to keep up within the interdisciplinary interlinks and their quantum speeded up insights flows and discovery edges - most scientists and such their reflecting and pondering and teams brain storming and intuitive and instinctive about the solutions towards overlapping developments in some 10 000 or rather 20 000 or rather 30 000 academic or rather more than 10 000 disciplines need to be overlapped in an hour by hour sequencing over centuries to come - at least - in several software multi multi multi Limits - Levels - Layers etc. programmes and of their specific scientific disciplines or topics or themes and subdisciplines of respective subdisciplines - the required methods and methodologies to improve the seriously dragging behind sets of established incorrect colliding often by hours or days or weeks rather than by months or years or decades conclusions which are like a phalanx of cousins - available results conclusions predictions available to global school children - for real progress, cordially, igor 02.02.2020sun.03.40

Birds, chimps, small mammals, whales, dolphins, porpoises to name a few types of animals with language

@dalriada 14 жыл бұрын

new caledonian crows, dolphins, whales, ants, the list of animals that possess the ability to communicate is not short. If by "language" you mean speaking with human mouths, then yes, humans are 'unique'.

the reason areas the chess master uses for the end game of a game of chess which are different from that of the non-expert is because once you're familiar with the game, the end game is pretty routine. by then the variety of possible moves is dramatically decreased. it could be also, like he says, that they have found how to isolate those useful areas of the brain during this stage, but it seems more likely that they are relying more on memory than computation.

@dalriada Do any of those species teach their blind members to read braille or their deaf members to sign and read? Are any of those species able to write in some way that others will be able to see and understand later like "at lunch back at one"?

Animal communication primarily conveys the "Emotions" of the individual of the species in question... where as, Human communication can convey information about the external world and/or the emotions behind it. Although, humans in general are in fact relaying emotions rather then information about the external world... Ethics, Sports, Politics and Aesthetics, are categories where people believe that they are expressing something other then "How They Feel" about it... i.e., E-motivating.

@dannmann2010 Yes..the thing is that currently there are theories on learning which state that every time you learn something new your brain areas will activate more and eventually quite down as you learn...its like your brain learns and that task becomes more and more automatic requiring less resources..less processing power of the brain..

@deepthought251 14 жыл бұрын

@dannmann2010 meaning..when toddlers and adults are learning something completely new...you will get areas frontal part of the brain...like the Anterior cingulate cortex to be more active and later it will quite down...

@dalriada My point is that human language is unique and versatile far beyond animal communication.

Dgdaan Oogn what the heck is a white race? European? Why should any human be treated different because the intensity of their pigment is different? Last time I checked living further from the equator doesnt make you a better civilized person

@ttrev007 7 жыл бұрын

+BlindRamb0 sunscreen, the white race should be treated differently by making sure you cover them with hi SPF sunscreen before going out into the summer sun. Just answering your last question. Really the fist thing that people should consider modifying is repairing melanocytes in white people so prevent the extremely painful burns that occur. Seriously i think the LDS got it backwards. White skin was the curse. Only upside of white skin is if you don't have access to enough dietary vitamin D and a limited amount of sun.

nice....but the role of language in this talk (mostly communication) is only one of the functions of language. language is necessary for humans to think symbolically. thought itself is impossible without the use of language in internal dialogue. it is not necessary for ALL forms of thought (refer to Howard Garner's multiple theory of intelligences). Verbal-Linguistic intelligence and probably Logical-Mathematical intelligence would be impossible without the ability to reduce phenomena to symbols, however. so, it's more than just communication that would be lost without language. we literally would lose forms of intelligence.
