Crow (Crow, 1996, 2000) (Crow and Kim, 2000) proposed a common origin, back in a genetic mutation able to alter the anatomical and functional hemispheric balance, fixed in the sexual X chromosome about 100,000 years ago.

 Language of the American Crow, Corvus brachyrhynchos.
Within the same group of crows in a limited territory, there can be considerable variation in how the caws sound to a listener, and it has also often been noted that crows in different parts of the United States sound different from each other.
The crow was sitting on a branch above a feeding stating and produced several groupings of 4 or 5 caws, such as the one illustrated, with a few seconds between each grouping.
The basic premise upon which we will operate is that if crows do indeed use a sophisticated form of vocal communication, analysis of the frequencty patterns in sonograms should enable us to recognize some of the "words" of this language, even if we are initially unable to assign a precise meaning to each "word".

 Psycoloquy 11(117): Language, Creativity and the Speciation of Homo Sapiens   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
On the basis of Crow's thesis one can hypothesize that a disorder like a psychosis, which in its milder form could favour a creative use of the language, would also contribute to strengthen the adaptive potential of a gene which per se increases the use of language.
According to Crow, speciation of homo sapiens should be happening through the diffusion among hominids of a gene which determines the lateralization of cerebral functions.
Crow writes that a characteristic of language is the arbitrariness of the associations between signs and meaning.

 Crows.net Project
While there are few ornithologists actively studying the American crow and the existing scientific literature is not extensive, there are thousands of "crow fanciers" who are continually observing the language and behavior of various populations of these birds in a wide variety of habitats throughout their entire range.
This being the case, it is postulated that by organizing the existing knowledge about crows from all sources, and coordinating the efforts of "crow fanciers" and professional scientists, that sufficient information can be obtained to gain some understanding of, and initiate real - if limited - communication with a non-human, intelligent species, the American crow.
In short, we tend to value in other species the traits which we value in ourselves, but since these traits are not necessarily central to the survival or culture of the other species, we generally arrive at an inaccurate or incomplete evaluation.

There is no really satisfactory name for Ioway-Otoe-Missouria, and the present relict of this language is a group of family lects (varieties) reflecting the merger of the former tribal dialects, and, to some extent, of the tribal populations themselves.

Abstract: Crow's (2000) thesis that Homo sapiens speciated on a gene for cerebral asymmetry is inconsistent with the right shift (RS) theory of handedness and cerebral dominance (Annett, 1972, 1985).
Individual differences for various skills in human groups may have been influenced by alleles at the RS locus from early stages of human evolution.
Abstract: In his target article Crow (2000a) summarized the hypothesis that a genetically based shift in cerebral dominance (CD) favoured the development of language and, perhaps, consciousness.

Moore said the proposed constitutional amendment is “a classic example of bait and switch,” with the focus now on school funding rather than Jim Crow language.
