I do not see it as humans being "really bad" at those things. Comparatively, across all mammals and other animal species we are really good at it that we engage in thought and communication beyond what is necessary for immediate survival. So we have deliberate (necessitated by purpose and aided by thought) communication across time and space.
I see it as, the purpose to which thought and communication are employed is complicated.
That is a nice supplementary anecdote.
