    " between 800 and 3200 molecules are avaible only for humans. "

    Same question here, those stands for the difference and thus for language !?
    I know, cumulative etc...but, the 2% stands also for all what is necessary
    for speaking, learning skills and for all what later evolved out of the use
    of
    language (fe culture, consciousness,..) !?
