We are very clearly not the only species that can have complex communication. Other mammals do so without even counting primates.
Bird songs and whale songs are not music?
I partially agree about feelings. My gut says that animals have emotions. But we should not be assigning human emotions to whatever is going on with them. Though perhaps primates mirror our emotions since we are after all closely related.
They certainly don't have civilisations or culture on the level that we do. That's clear. But some other species of primate could have survived instead of us.
At the end of the day, we're just an accident of evolution. Our ultimate goals is still to mature and try and reproduce just like everything else.
- Grustaf 8y agoWhat could have happened is not relevant, this is not a discussion about fate. Animal language is very limited, it is fair to call it fundamentally different. Same with bird songs. As to your last statement, that’s just that, a statement without basis.
