The Power of Myth II

As yet another example of the above, here's another myth about human specialness in the universe falling, the one that we're the only living beings on earth with language, well, first it was just language, but it's evolved into language complexity, once the "language" thing alone bit the dust. Now it turns out that white-handed gibbons not only have clearly differentiated warning songs, but also they can rearrange their sounds to give new and different meanings to the warnings, something previously attributed only to humans. It looks like the gap between the rest of God's creation and us, His special creatures for whom everything in the universe was created and done, keeps getting narrower and narrower. It will probably come down to us being the only species that can write a book proclaiming that we are His special creatures for whom everything in the universe was created and done. But I'm not really even going to bet on that.
