So you think humans are unique? - life - 21 May 2008 - New Scientist - 0 views

  • Where once it was seen as a monolith, a discrete and singular entity, today scientists find it is more productive to think of language as a suite of abilities.
  • component parts of language - everything from gesticulation and babbling to meaning and syntax - are not as unique as the whole.

  • ...3 more annotations...
  • gestures of non-human primates are not merely innate reflexes but are learned, flexible and under voluntary control - all characteristics that are considered prerequisites for human-like communication.
  • She found that both human babies and apes use similar gestures to make requests,
  • pre-linguistic infants babble, and it turns out they are not alone in this either - dolphins, and even songbirds

    "THERE was a time when we thought humans were special in so many ways. Now we know better. We are not the only species that feels emotions, empathises with others or abides by a moral code. Neither are we the only ones with personalities, cultures and the ability to design and use tools. Yet we have steadfastly clung to the notion that one attribute, at least, makes us unique: we alone have the capacity for language."

He also presents more background information and an extensive bibliography about spanking and corporal punishment in the Table of Contents link.
