The fact that we are able to accumulate knowledge and apply it to shape our environment in a way that no other species is able to kind of does suggest that we have a profound communication advantage.

Everybody here agrees that we do.

  • Sorry, misread your comment. Again though, it seems pretty obvious that our ability to accumulate knowledge across generations by recording it through the use of language is a categorical advantage over other animals.
