In the podcast of this week I found very interesting how animals can learn to communicate with humans by signs and imagine a chimp saying "you look nice in that outfit" by signs, I mean that would be totally amazing. Also chimps have the capacity to talk in signs because they are very intelligent. In fact chimps are very alike to us humans they can us their hands to peel a banana, they can walk, climb and other things.
Also in a way every animal has a way to speak for example if a cat in angry he would try to scratch you, also if a dog wants to play he would move his tail and begin to jump and roll so that you would play with him and if any animal is hungry and you're eating at the table they will bother you until you gave them food.
Something that I didn't really understand was why can't chimps talk so I looked it in Physorg.com and it said "Scientists suspect that part of the answer to the mystery lies in a gene called FOXP2. When mutated, FOXP2 can disrupt speech and language in humans. Now, a UCLA/Emory study reveals major differences between how the human and chimp versions of FOXP2 work, perhaps explaining why language is unique to humans."
