Biologically Unique
Human nature is as real as the nature of bees.
We are a specific kind of organism;
We have our capacities, our limitations,
Our modes of cognition,
Our modes of perception, our moral values...
All of this comes out of some fixed genetic endowment.
Most of these areas are extremely hard to study.
There are a few that you can study closely,
And language happens to be one of them.
It's an important one because it's at the core of our nature.
Anything we do, language is somehow related to it.
It's furthermore the one clearly identifiable human characteristic
Which is biologically unique,
So we're completely different from
Any other organism in this respect.
It's furthermore the one clearly identifiable human characteristic
Which is biologically unique.
We are a specific kind of organism;
We have our capacities, our limitations,
Our modes of cognition,
Our modes of perception, our moral values...
All of this comes out of some fixed genetic endowment.
Most of these areas are extremely hard to study.
There are a few that you can study closely,
And language happens to be one of them.
It's an important one because it's at the core of our nature.
Anything we do, language is somehow related to it.
It's furthermore the one clearly identifiable human characteristic
Which is biologically unique,
So we're completely different from
Any other organism in this respect.
It's furthermore the one clearly identifiable human characteristic
Which is biologically unique.
