They also found that prairie dogs have a large vocabulary as well.

These vocabularies are based on tone and body language, not traditional human language. Grrr (I'm mad) eeek (I'm scared) AAAAH (Hurt, or crazy), that's not a "vocabulary", that is simple observation, and basic communication.

But if we want to talk to aliens, we need to learn to speak the universal language. Which is electro-chemical.

you thin mathematics is a universal language? It's all economics and theory. True communication comes from within the consciousness, which is where electro-chemical activity happens. So in a sense that IS how the world communicates, and based on statistics (math), that is how the rest of the universe should communicate as well.

Really? Because if you have read any of the articles or watched the complete video (not sure if it was this one I got the clip from or another) they showed that they could describe the predator that was nearby.

For example they could communicate that a skinny human with a green shirt was nearby, or that a hawk was in the air or if the human they saw was carrying a rifle. They could describe things in detail, the others in the group would use the same type of bark to describe the same thing, if a detail changed so would the type of bark used.

That's amazing and thank you for showing me that, I am sorry for not pay more attention to it and giving it more credit. But I am talking about a different form of communication (the kind that goes between organ systems, AND organisms). I will definitely be doing some prairie dog research now though

Yes I thought so too, very interesting stuff.

[FONT=Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif]Slobodchikoff’s research not only demonstrates the complexity of prairie dog communication, but implies that prairie dogs can discuss things that are not present, a process known as displacement, which again is typically thought to be unique to human language. The idea that prairie dogs can discuss a tall human dressed in blue, in the absence of said human, is an extraordinary idea and challenges deeply held notions about animals’ cognitive abilities.[/FONT][/FONT]

I've always thought the idea that humans are the only creatures with the ability to reason was a load of SHIT. I've seen plenty of animals reason, it's not just instincts or training when your dog does some stuff.

Fin,




Your limited education, wild imagination, and delusions of granduer make for some great threads. It is so funny how you are so sure of everything you say and fight everyone who tries to enlighten you. On the rare occasion when you actually look into what people are trying to tell you (to save you from yourself), it's like you can see your little light bulb go off. Why don't you spend a little time educating yourself on these ideas of yours before presenting them as fact?

I believe you were babbling about humans killing everything for our own consumption on the first page. My thought was, yeah, and we cut down cannabis plants for our consumption. Is that wrong to you?









Ok, folks, carry on batting the bunny.
