Imaginarynumber1 Posted July 21, 2014 #26 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Apes can't speak like humans because they don't need to- they use telepathic communication. Part of me knows that you are joking. The other part weeps for humanity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redhen Posted July 21, 2014 #28 Share Posted July 21, 2014 On a more serious note, lets not forget that we were once apes too (some say we still are!). Yes, the taxonomy for our species keeps moving back and forth in popularity. I checked Wiki and it seems like it's back again under the family great apes, which consists of; chimpanzees (Pan) – 2 species gorillas (Gorilla) – 2 species humans (Homo) – 1 species orangutans (Pongo) – 2 species.[1] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino666 Posted July 21, 2014 #29 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Maybe we should reverse the question if we're so superior. Why can't we learn their language. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundew Posted July 21, 2014 #30 Share Posted July 21, 2014 If we could only get some humans to stop jabbering like apes, you would really have something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spud the mackem Posted July 21, 2014 #31 Share Posted July 21, 2014 if you were captured and put in a cage and made to do things that you didn't want to, would you give away the secret that you can talk ,and understand your captors, and make things worse for yourself. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

:PsYKoTiC:BeHAvIoR: Posted July 22, 2014 #37 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Why can't we just rig them up with a Box like Steven Hawking, or the dog off Up? We could hear a lot of "mine" and "give me"..... SQUIRREL!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJNYC Posted July 23, 2014 #38 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Not only can they talk, and not just imitate, they are also highly intelligent and according to the Cambridge Declaration; "Evidence of near human-like levels of consciousness has been most dramatically observed in African grey parrots." And this reminded me of Alex, the African Grey. [media=] [/media] Thank you for posting this. I had never heard of Alex and I'm just amazed. So sorry he died, not sure why they didn't say why he died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rei4ever Posted August 4, 2014 #39 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Because of Limitations or because we never teach them to speak or read! Its a matter of time and evolution! And because humans has dna's of et's...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielost Posted August 4, 2014 #40 Share Posted August 4, 2014 All animals speak their own language. For instance cats world wide use the meow for humans. They can make over one hundred sounds and they all use the same one when dealing with humans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
