 | | Apes and even birds, for example, areknown to "fish" for insects using blades of grass or twigs, and even to shape the toolsfor that purpose. |
 | | For these reasons, the idea that making and using tools is a defining characteristic of humans is oftenconsidered outdated, though of course no other animal uses tools to the same degree or with the same flexibility as Homosapiens. |
 | | Similarly, other animals often have methods of communication, but the degree to which humans create and use complex grammar and abstract concepts in language has not been seen in any other species. |
