curious how it's always humans saying that they're the only ones who have language..

it's only humans capable of the sub communication protocol called English that says that

No other languages have evolved to say that.

Exactly, other languages would use something like "Det är bara människan som utvecklat tal" or "Es ist nur der Mensch, der die Sprache entwickelt hat" depending on language
