Chapter 9 - Thinking and Learning

For starters this chapter was short, which was awesome!! But other then that I liked this chapter because it had to do with how we communicate. With communication being such a big thing, I found it interesting that certain animals can communicate just as well as we can. And they all can transmit cultural patterns between their peers.

Another thing that I found interesting was the language development. How at four months babies babble many speech sounds, at ten months their babbling resembles household language, then at twelve months they are in the one-word stage, twenty-four months they are at the two-word stage and telegraphic speech, then from there language develops int complete sentences.
