"Those that have sought to teach apes language have found an unbridgeable gulf."
What a coincidence. I overheard a couple of our Magpies banging on the glass doors complaining about how thick I was and how they had to remind me and retrain me how to feed them every day.
Animals may not speak human language but anyone who thinks they don't communicate has no sensitivity or observational power.
In some ways Animal communication is way ahead of human language which often seems good only for detailing shopping lists, stories and lying. It's definitely a two edged sword !
On another matter MrG do you ever feel concern or a question why so many of the JW so called "scientific" quotes are often 50 -100 yrs old ?
Scientific knowledge has exploded in the last 25 yrs.
When are you going to update your references.
