Dear Mr. You Betcha:

Are deaf mutes, by your definition, considered human?

Thanks,

hyzer

You betcha, are you or aren't you going to address the contradictions in your theory?

So, You Betcha, do you consider foxes of dog kind?

I do not have my information with me now, but there is a part of the anatomy which allows humans, people, mankind to speak differently than animals.

Only one part? Out of the entire human anatomy?

And what exactly is the way in which animals speak? You imply that there is such a way when you use the phrase "speak differently than animals".

When do you plan on having "your information"?[/QB]

It was the anatomy of the laryngeal which is consistent with speech that is not inferior to modern man's.

Maybe you have noticed that humans speak differently than animals.

References, please? Also, I know of the larynx. What exactly is the laryngeal?

I had not noticed that animals spoke at all. Your statement implies that animals do speak. Can you back that up?

OK, are Pandas of bear kind or ring-tailed cat kind?

The laryngeal anatomy consists of all the structures that helps produce sound.

You're still avoiding the issue. I don't have to look and try to tell the score, because I'm not the one who claims that they should be easily distinguishable, being clearly different.
