    That’s cool as hell and animals definitely have all kinds of methods of communication that I’m sure we haven’t figured out yet - but it’s not language.

      Okay, I’ll bite.

      Why isn’t it language? And how do you define that a method of communication qualifies to be called a language?

      Also, what would you call a method of communication that lies somewhere in between “follow the pheromones” and “modern human comms”?
