Symbolic Communication, Dolphin Intelligence and Language Evolution
Observations of dolphins at SeaWorld suggest they use sound to create mental images or symbols to coordinate complex actions instantaneously. Scranton posits that symbolic language may be a more sophisticated form of communication than modern phonetic or written languages. This perspective suggests that human history involves a transition from high-level symbolic systems to less sophisticated phonetic ones, rather than a progression from primitive to advanced.
