Interesting site

Language was an intriging subject to go over in class. This site talks about Noam Chomsky and Howard Garner, they both had good thoughts that were went over in class and in the readings but the writer of the site breaks it down

"Thus, there is general agreement on the importance of language in human cognition, and even in the different ways we use this necessary skill. The ability to use language sets humans apart from other animals and accounts, at least partly, for the uniqueness of our cognitive profile. We would definitely be a very different species were it not for this awesome skill. The question now is: How did we develop this unique ability?"
