1. It says that animals can adapt to new biomes only by changing genetically.  What does that mean??

2. It said that the human species was developing a giant community brain. Why did they call it that is it because when the community comes together and discusses it's like a brain.

Q1:  Is symbolic language from a certain language we use? How was it created, maybe in a certain way? Although, David Christian does state that humans showed their ability for collective learning before they left Africa, so it maybe came from Africa.

Q2: Is symbolic language really super important to human beings? If so, are there certain things to it that are more important than others?  We use symbolic language to talk about things that aren't even there, but we know things are. So it could be important to humans, although in different ways. Because of how we can talk about things that are not there, are there different parts to symbolic language, do we use it daily?

Question 1: People say we evolve from chimpanzees to humans. How come they don't have symbolic language but us humans do?In the text it states," hey can’t discuss the past or imagine the future. Humans, on the other hand, because of symbolic language.
*Interesting! Can you find the answer?
Question 2: What do they mean," the human species is developing  there equivalent of a giant, community brain?" Does that mean we share all of the basic knowledge? In the text it states," the human species was developing the equivalent of a giant, community brain."
*Find this answer and evidence in the text!

why do we use symbolic  language instead of other kinds of language?
*What does the article tell us?

Q1: Does David Christian go out and study all of the animals to see if they use symbolic language or not?

Q2: Is symbolic language really that important to us?
*If we did not have it, what does Christian claim we would be like?

# data[].attributes.body
1.How did we humans think of symbolic language

2.If we can think of symbolic language why can't chimps think of symbolic language also

# data[].attributes.body
1:Why is symbolic language important? what is the meaning of symbolic language? Why do we use it?

2:When he says "The history from humans is so different from all the other animals." how is he supposed to know about the past along time ago and how the animals communicated, In all fairness we wont every really know how the really early humans communicated, because they couldn't just use video cameras and phones like us and stuff like that, They had to work with the little stuff they had! they cant find real pictures on the internet and be sure that there real because the people back then definitly didnt take them. and going back to saying animals dont communicate the same way, they have the exact same sences as us. so that dosnt mean that we talk normal and they dont it just means that we dont have the same way of speech so why does david christan thing that we are normal and animals are not?

1. Why do we use symbolic language and how do we think of it.

2. How does David Christian know that other animals do not use symbolic language.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Why does David christian focus so much on symbolic language but not on other traits of the human life?
*Do you think this is because collective learning has to do with language?

2. How does David Christian know that animals and other species do not use symbolic language to communicate like us humans do?
*Does he mention this in the text?

# data[].attributes.body
According to the article, "Collective Learning Pass It On", why did we make symbolic language in the first place, and who made symbolic language?

# data[].attributes.body
Question# 1: I wonder how they make the coats out of animal skin i think they should give info on that to because it would be very interesting if we found out what tools and other things they used to make the close out of animal skin) Question# 2 : I also wonder why David Christian focus a lot more on symbolic language that us humans because he could have compared us both humans and other species because he can tell us how both of us can differ from each other Because their can be a dog for instant it can hear and listen to commands because if we tell it to sit it will listen but if we tell it with out traning it it won't listen because you have to mentally tell it because it is like a program b ut you cant program it you can only tell it sertan thing to do but if we make a command to a bacteria it won't listen because it can't really comunicate with you it can only hear. We also might not be able to trust David christian because he might be giving fake info maybe dogs can understand us but we can't understand them because in the article david says that we can't have a verbale conversation with them maybe yet again they might under stand us but we can't understand them!! *GREAT question-- do other animals use symbolic language? Reread the text to find out!
