- BigManOnCampus, on 07/27/2008, -0/+4Well, it is other sea mammals that have the most complex vocalizations on earth other than man.
No other land-based mammal walks on two feet, and in fact biologists will tell you that mans spinal chord is a serious weakness in humans, one not easily explained away when talking about walking upright.
Also, we actually do have an amazing lung capacity, as evidenced by how freedivers develop their lung capacity.
