Why are there no species that have developed to bridge the gap between humans and apes?
In: Biology
I’ve read that our language ability played a huge part in it. As our ability to communicate in more complex and abstract ways grew, we were able to pass down knowledge, information and techniques to our descendants. It’s true that apes can learn from each other through imitation, but not through verbal instruction. Teaching through verbal instructions means I can call instructions to you from afar or teach you how to do something even if I can’t do it myself anymore.
