Question

What characterizes an animal's capacity to learn and what sets it apart from humans?

Answer 1

To every being, its kind. My pet dog has his delightful dog ways..sniffing   (canine bums., indeed)  digging and his uproarious otherness to pussycats !  His instincts are universal to all dog kind  and he invented the art of special welcoming for his friends...  He latches on the certain words but it seems that speech inflection is what is agreeable to him, rather that the actual words....

Answer 2

Answer 6

animal learning is characterized by their use of tools.  no animal has the ability to speak as humans.  the equipment just isn't there.

Answer 7

animals are set apart from humans in that they learn not to make the same mistakes over and over and over again even when their friends are shouting at them in their ear.

like I have this friend who can't work for more than 2-3 months per year.  he's always broke and lives with his mom at 40.  and i am always telling him how he should learn and work and earn a living and move out.  but then he says that he doesn't have to, but he's always broke.

so learning and staying in school is what does you good
