Their communication is different from human communication or language. As they react to triggers, stimuli or commands. Human language is unique and very different from animal…

Radcliffe also explains that the fundamental principle of classification used in the primitive society is the “equivalence of brothers.” (18) He implies that the pivotal moment for this classification of kinship is to develop patterns for the mother’s brother and father’s sister by looking at the two in a different way.
