lol no. Not in the absolute sense. Language IS NOT IN ANY WAY, "unique to humans". Period. Ever.

In fact, there have been a few recent studies that show whale language is as complicated as Chinese.

    What about the one where the Japanese guy isolated the bird language words for "danger, snake!", then played it on speakers to wild birds, which caused them to panic and start looking around for the snake.

    One of the most convincing experiments showing that animals have language that I've seen. The video is on YouTube
