I guess so, since we translate our instincts into language that we are taught and think about things differently based on norms like thinking to use a knife and fork etc. Interesting to think how we would think without language, i think we would still associate vital things like water and food as being important because of our basic human instinct which associates thirst with water and such.
Well actually we'd all be dead without language and the Neanderthals would likely be at the top of the hierarchy instead - but I totally get what you're saying fellow respected Zarp contributor!
