Its said that some dogs can understand 250 or more words, not to mention tail wagging sign language! Their ability being equivalent to that of a two and half year old child. Apes are well known to have similar ability, and they also communicate with body language.

Why should this ‘natural intelligence’ (a.k.a. natures’ I.Q.) be surprising? Obviously our knowledge of nature is still in its infancy.  This is true even for ‘first nations’ as they would probably humbly admit.

Yet the more learned about natures wonders, the more we begin to respect, appreciate, and admire it. For one example there seems to be a means of communication existing in ‘all’ creatures on earth!  Ergo; every living sole has a natural intelligence to do so. Could this simply result from accidental evolutionary jumps? Surely that’s an impossible stretch of imagination!?

In summary; It appears all living creatures, sea creatures, birds, and probably insects, have the innate ability to relate to their own kind, even with other kinds, not only to mate.

For exmple, quoting from CBC NEWS February 23, 2024 – By John Mazerolle;

“Life on Earth is a song and dance routine. “There are at least 200,000 species out there singing in ways that are silent to us, and that’s way more songs than if you add up all of the birds and the fish and the whales and the frogs out there,” says Rex Cocroft, a biologist at the University of Missouri who is fascinated by creatures that only use vibrations to communicate. For example, when a male treehopper calls out for a mate, he shakes his abdomen 100 times a second to produce a low sound that vibrates through the stem of the plant he is standing on. While that sound is audible to other treehoppers — particularly the female treehoppers he’s trying to attract — it’s outside the frequency that humans can hear. In “Love and Rivals,” the second episode of Secret World of Sound from CBC’s The Nature of Things, we listen in on dime-sized treehoppers in conversation using laser tech. Or if you prefer something more ostentatious, there’s always the sharp-tailed grouse in Alberta’s grasslands performing a synchronized dance routine as a team to attract a mate: the more males, the more impressive their performance. Check out the song here and the dance here.”

Is it such a leap to believe humans will eventually be able to understand and communicate with our fellow life forms on a much higher, more intimate level as well? After all, unlike ‘natural communications’, we are uniquely equipped with ‘natural intelligence’ to learn. Perhaps we are just beginning to understand the wisdom of our supremely intelligent Creator’s intention for us.
