    I strongly believe that animals convey data in more detail than we give them credit for. Birds especially can often sound like fax-machines.
    If you listened to a fax machine you wouldn't understand or think it means anything and yet it could be an intricate image being send.
    What if warbling birds and other animals do not need to go through grammar and syntax but send each other images/scenarios instead [or something else altogether we can't even think of]?
    Humans always make a big mistake by using themselves as the standard against which they measure everything.
    We say that animals can't be clever because they don't have philosophy or art. Maybe they don't need it, but even more so, maybe they have their own kind of philosophy or art that is very deep to them but means nothing to us.
    Humans are their own hurdle by thinking the world revolves around them and every other being has to measure up to us and never the other way round. We seek enlightenment and happiness in the moment, live without anxiety and be honest and without money, but the only ones that already do all that are animals.

      but it's all based on instinct, not something invented or that can convey anything other than instinctual, reactive concepts. otherwise, their language would progress like ours has.
      communication != language

      @dingo1666 5 лет назад

      @@SeraphX2 I politely disagree, as the evolution and environment and need to survive is very different from a bird compared to a human. Plus, birds are descendants of dinosaurs, which had been around for millions of years and those little birdies still carry their DNA, they had so much more time to evolve a more sophisticated way of communications than humans who basically just changed grunts into words and added more.

      @@SeraphX2 Yes, communication does not automatically mean language, however, I think the distinction is rather a gradual one from very simple to complex communication (language). Also, arguing that animal communication or interaction is based on instincts and reaction while human communication is not doesn't hold up when you consider that humans too act according to biochemical reactions on which they have no influence.

    Most times, I feel that my dog is the only one really listening to me...we communicate through our feelings...he's the perfect receiver... for lack of being controlled and manipulated by an genetic egomind. Animals have developed communication skills in relation with their environment, their physical aspects, their needs and levels of intelligence. The higher you are situated on the evolutionary scale...the more complex the process become. There's only one specie of human on Earth, and yet we can hardly communicate with one another between different countries. Our communication levels must be a reflection of our intelligence in order to reshape this planet in greater harmony. The internet is definitely a great leap forward on this regard...as long as we use it smartly in a way that works for everyone. The expansion and openness of our minds is leading us toward a trajectory of great discoveries about our true essence of existence...consciousness. Communication between higher dimensions is currently taking place amongst us in a increasingly fast pace...light language translated through love and comprehension is multidimensional...our DNA contains the necessary components for intergalactic relations.
    The missing link is intelligence...now where is it from?
    I love talking with animals...I love talking with my dog...I love talking with my fellow humans...I love talking with planet Earth...and I love talking with the...Stars.
    Who are we really?
    Great display of communication skills bro, love the talk.
    Thank you.
    It's time.

    In fact, natural selection is not the only mechanism we know of on Earth and even Darwin suggested that it need not be the only mechanism. We know that stressors, for instance, produce genetic changes that are passed down generationally, a different, though related, mechanism from the random occurrence of natural selection.

    I don't believe human language is real very special. We tend to forget sometimes that we communicate through sounds and it's variations like many other primates and animals do. We asume it is the pinnacle of evolutions because we can recognise the frequencies where it's travel and the patterns within it. we take pride about the fact we are able to use it to communicate between us. Has anyone trip to another countries or see a docu with a language you don't understand? next time just sit there, listen and observe like some sort of alien how we still sound like animals (primates) and communicate in the same way that many of them do.
