That's a really bad transcription, then. Brains do much more than output language.
- witrak 1mo ago> Brains do much more than output language. Hmm, what do you think about? Unconscious control of the body's processes? REM-phase dreaming? Reaction to hallucinogenic substances? Automatic actions of trained fighters (soldiers or martial arts practitioners)? Are they critical to distinguish actions we attribute to humans from "non-human" ones? I don't see any human activity not directly, or at least indirectly but closely linked to the use of language.

- Timwi 29d agoBrains output muscle movements. The only evolutionary purpose of brains is to make decisions on what muscles to move when and how. Language is one byproduct of that. Another byproduct that is not unique to humans is memory.
