It is interesting to notice that, this statement disputes some psychologists’ belief that language is simple evolved, superior and higher than other animals. In fact, sign using by animals is continuity, because signs don't refer to ideas but to actual situations, then the signs that animals use to communicate do not constitute a language. I really like the Langer’s idea of humans are not smarter than other animals; we are just different. Animals use signs that don't have a pattern or meaning like human language does, does not mean they are not as intelligent as human beings. As a student who took many science classes, there are so many questions in my mind. If Langer’s statement is true, why human beings consider we are on the top of food chain? Are human beings superior to other animals due to human brains structure are more developed? I’m sure there are plenty of scientific research could conduct a conclusion and provide evidence to support; however, I think it’s much more interesting to think about how evolution changed our relation to animals. Many people love to keep pets and most common species are dogs and
