Language is a method of communication, either spoken or written, which varies around the world. Language is not only used by humans, but animals too. It is undeniable that all creatures that roam the earth have their own language, or way of communicating. However, each language is entirely different. One is more predominately advanced, human’s language. Humans are able to share past, present and even the idea of future experiences with one another through communication. Bees use communication and chimpanzees are even able to use human language, but not to the extent that humans can. Humans are able to communicate about other living beings language, not just their own differentiating them from other animals. The language gene also aids in making humans diverse.

Bees do have a form of communication, although language is not present. Instead, they communicate through dance the location of pollen to other bees in the hive. With this they, are able to calibrate their dance in relation to the position of the sun, using a varying number of dance movements to express to the rest of the bees where the hive is. This is one clear difference between humans and bees. With the use of language, spoken and written words, humans can communicate with each other effortlessly. Language does play a key role in making humans different.
Humans are the descendants from chimpanzees hence, having a similar communication system like that of humans. Many researchers claim that chimpanzees even have the capacity to be able to adapt and fully use human language to the extent that humans do. One main difference separating humans from chimpanzees is the ability to talk. With the help of evolution humans have thicker tongues and a lower vocal box, the opposite of chimpanzees, creating an enigma for chimpanzees to pronounce vowel sounds. This form of communication, using language, is the divide between the ancestors of humans and humans themselves. This strong form of evidence is not enough for many scientists and researchers. The use of sign language, not requiring any sound, is now taught to chimpanzees and apes. A remarkable ration of language, developing their communication, has also been learnt in hope of evolving their language. Kanzi, a bonobo, was able to understand spoken English and used lexigrams to communicate. Today, Kanzi is 26 years old which can be compared to the average statistics of a six-year old. By the age of six, over 2,300 words are able to be used and 20,000 to 24,000 words are understood by the child. As the age of that child increases, so does the complexity and number of known words and the ability to follow rules of grammar. This shows that human’s language is obviously dissimilar and more advanced compared to chimpanzees and apes. Geoffrey Pullum, a linguist shared his opinion that he does not believe “that there has ever been an example anywhere of a nonhuman expressing an opinion, or asking a question. These clear concepts along with evolution have evidently allowed humans to have this diverse communication with one another. This is the key difference between the language of humans and chimpanzees, ensuing that language makes humans disparate. The capacity to develop, use and convey symbolic symbols makes
