"Strange evolution
How people have come to believe that we are it's greatest achievement
When really we're just a collection of cells
Overrating themselves
Hello, God, I'm avoiding the truth."
-Dave Matthews Band-Eh Hee
This song by the Dave Matthews Band illustrates the belief of humans that we are the superior race on the world. However, consider this. Koko, a Gorilla, understands 2,000 words in English and has learned how to use 1,000 sign-language gestures to communicate. This Gorilla has learned how to speak our language, but have we, even with our technology and knowledge, ever learned how to communicate in Gorilla language? No, I don't think we have. Interesting, no?
