Abstract

Human language, cognition, and culture are unique; they are unparalleled in the animal kingdom. This title presents empirical research and an analysis of comparative approaches for an understanding of human uniqueness, arguing that we cannot know what capacities are uniquely human until we learn what other species can do.
