So I think that we proaly are the most uncivilised animals on this earth. Last Edited by Ostria1 on 12/01/2011 06:10 AM Ostria |

Quoting: Nacht im Walde Speech depends on the physiology of the animals. It is the physiology of the larynx and the rest that allow us to speak (as they allow us to breath on demand). There is a region in the human brain which is called the Broca's area, which scientists say it is the center of the language ability. We have it and chimpanzees have it too, so they are capable of speaking but they dont have the appropriate larynx to do it (ours it low and this helps) I read that scientists have done brain scans in dolphins too and they have a Broca's area analog to produce speech and possibly a Wernicke's area analog, which is presumably what they use for understanding the contrived sign language of scientists (though it seems they understand whistles more than sign language). Some also have an analog to our larynx which is their nose. The bottlenose dolphin has six air sacs that allow it to communicate through whistles. What is lacks, which we possess, is dexterity (probably they mean that the cant control different sounds as well as we do). here are some information on this [link to century-neuroscience.blogspot.com] Ostria |
