Language
[Philaleths. 1864. The distinction between man and animals. Anthropological review: 2: 153-163.]
[Descent 1: 53.]
Language.—This faculty has justly been considered as one of the chief distinctions between man and the lower animals. But man, as a highly competent judge, Archbishop Whately remarks, "is not the only animal that can make use of language to express what is passing in his mind, and can understand, more or less, what is so expressed by another."]
