We aren't completely devoid of instinct, but we don't depend on it in order to function the way animals do. You don't see adult dogs teaching puppies how to be a dog, or adult birds teaching chicks how to be a bird. They just know, because they pass knowledge from generation to generation genetically. We pass it organically, and therefore can absorb and utilize new concepts as a species much more quickly than they can.

For millions of years, man lived just like the animals. Then, something happened which unleashed the power of our imaginations...


We learned to talk

We used our brains and dicks to out-fight and out-frick the closest competition. How much Neanderthal DNA do you have?

Dis here Matrix. Ask Silicon Valley. God is real, he just a computer program. This is intelligent design, design is 0's and 1's. Both sides of argument are correct and wrong at the same time. Stay woke.

Language is the means by which we manipulate the apparent world our brain observes.

Language + opposable thumb/digits.

Dolphins have language but no thumbs/hands.

It is conjectured that neanderthal lacked complex language. (Inferred from dna about voice box).

Mmpf, mmpf mmmmk.

vs "pick that girl up and bring her to the valley with the waterfall. Gorak meet you there with coconuts".
