evolutionary psychology

[evolcon]

You mean apes who have other apes to chatter to..tend to chatter to other apes?  

I think the point at which a persons theory stands in contradiction to everything in the relevant subject as well as everything else across multiple other subjects, it's doa.  It would be one thing if you only had to insist that primate researchers were con artists, but when you then have to insist that anthropologists are wrong, zoologists are wrong, mycologists are wrong, botanists are wrong...biology itself..is wrong......  

It might be time to revise the position, to put it mildly.  Boilerplate comments about how you as a human think human language is super duper awesome can't cash the check you're floating.  We're this rocks premiere generalist species, and we come equipped with a wide array of advantages.  No single adaptation or behavior can be pointed to as being the thing that made us, as it were.  Among that wide array of advantages, the ability to communicate is easily the most common in other life.
