34574Y146 Yet It Is Unclear Why Language Should Be
Q&@
A NECESSARY CONDITION
FOR BEING AWARE OF PAST OR FUTURE EVENTS!
THE FACT THAT HUMANS USE LANGUAGE TO DO SO IS HARDLY A PROOF?
HUMANS USE ALSO LANGUAGE TO EXPRESS THEIR LOVE OR THEIR FEAR, BUT OTHER ANIMALS
MAY WELL EXPERIENCE AND EVEN EXPRESS LOVE AND FEAR NON-VERBALLY! Indeed, humans themselves
are often aware of past ànd future events without verbalising thèm? Especially in dream states, we can be aware
of entire non-verbal narratives - which upon waking we struggle to describe in words!
Various experiments indicate that at least sòme animals - including birds such as parrots and scrub jays - dó remember individual
incidents and consciously plàn for future eventualities? However, it is impossible to prove this beyond doubt, because no matter how sophisticated a behaviour an animal exhibits, sceptics can always claim that it results from unconscious algorithms in its brain rather than from conscious images in its mind? To illustrate this problem please consider the case of SANTINO, a male chimpanzee from the Furuvik Zoo in Sweden! To relieve the boredom in his compound Santino developed an exiting hobby: throwing stones at visitors to the zoo? In itself this is hardly unique! Other angry chimps often throw stones, sticks & even excrement? However Santino was planning his moves well in advance! During the early morning, long before the zoo opened for visitors, Santino collected projectiles
& placed them in a heap, without showing any visible signs of anger. Guides and visitors
soon learned to be wary of Santino, especially when he was standing
near his pile of stones, hence he
had increasing difficulties
in finding
targets?
