Why can’t animals talk?
In: Biology
The main thing is that you need a very complex brain in order to have language, and most animals don’t have brains that are able to process complex thoughts and turn them into words.
Humans evolved to be really smart as our way of figuring out how to survive, and we also learned to work in groups, which required that we needed ways to communicate complex ideas to each other. But other animals were able to survive without being very clever, and so they didn’t need to develop a complex language, they could just do what their instincts said. And when they had to communicate with each other, animals didn’t need complex ideas, so they didn’t need a language.
