‘“Of all mankind's creations, language must take the pride of place.”’claims Guy Deutscher, a professor of languages. In the investigation 6, “How Does Language Make Human Different,” explains many qualities human contain rather than primates and other living organisms such as bacteria, birds, bees, and primates.

To begin, humans are different than several animals due to their ability to adapt their language to be best fit in the ever changing society. In the article it states, “The system of communication bees use was discovered over 70 years ago…” Since they have discovered the way bees communicate they acquire the same communication from 70 years ago. To add on bees continue to use the same dances for similar needs such as honey, they have no need to adapt the way they communicate with each other due to their similar needs.

There is no limit to our ability to describe things to each other as long as we continue to be more abstract than any other living organism. Finally, humans are an intellectual and sophisticated
