I would suggest you take her to the nearest university and have that documented. I can guarantee they would be interested(September 18, 2021 at 2:05 pm)evolcon Wrote: The subject is language. and the complex communications that allow humans to, access, with thought. the information stored in their brain, and to do this at will. Human conversation is a very special ability, one must assemble a large number of words, arrange them in a grammatically correct order and verbalize them rapidly. The avarage human vocabulary consist of more than 10,000 words.
Human communications allows us to plan, we can think about and talk about yesterday, or years ago, we can discuss the future, we can do this at our leisure, in a boardroom or backyard bbq, Our amazing progress from hunter gatherer tribes to today's civilization
is due in no small part due to our language skill.
We have an African Grey parrot. She comes out with sentences that make perfect sense but aren't something she heard someone say. We don't leave the TV or radio on if we aren't home so that's not where she heard it.
Explain that.
