Comment from: Art Smith [Visitor]

Sounds like a very interesting book, will look out for this. Not sure I total agree with the animals don’t think they react, humans react, it depends on the situation. I am convinced animals size up humans which in my mind would require thinking.

I tought it was more based on cause and effect. and that humans didnt know cause and effect until 2000+ recent years ago.

This is a very interesting idea to tackle. I do think that for the most part animals react but I also think that some animals think too.

I want to checkout the book, I have some evolutionary cycle of human language and always feel the urge to know more about it. The subject is really interesting, how we started talking unlike the animals and how we became so different from the other animals that we got the power to reign over them.

Evolution is a gradual process, and the development of language is probably the same. One learns from generation to generation.

Well, all animals communicate with eachother in one way or another. Given enough time I think other species would develop more ways of communicating, and language just follows down the road.

I too think Darwins Evolution Theory had some part to play in this books inspiration and execution, it's a good read, but this as well as Darwin's theory does have some flaws however. Still, if there are flaw's that cannot be proven scientifically it doesn't mean that religion automatically fills the void.

I agree with your post. I think Bickerton followed the Darwin's theory for explaining evolution. As you said animals function is totally different from humans. They can react for the situations since they don't have the ability to think.
