Speech is a very high functioning brain process – animals besides ourselves don’t have the brain capacity for this!

As well as not having the same brain structure their vocal cords are also structurally different to ours which is another reason they cannot talk (with the exception of parrots but they mimic rather than talk)

Do you ever think their brains with develop enough for animals to speak? Just like we did:D?
Kevin commented on :
Possibly, in millions of years but it’s impossible to predict!
Jo commented on :
It is the vocal cords that need to develop more 🙂
Kevin commented on :
More importantly the brain!
