We humans talk a lot - really a lot. Sometimes I think there are some people that are always talking. But I am not going to look up Guinness Records on the big talkers.
Who else talks this much? Or are we at the top of the food chain with all our talking? I found an article that described S four animals that could really talk: Hoover the Seal, Blackie the Cat, Alex the Parrot and Lucy the Chimp. There are other similar articles about Orca whales, elephants and beluga whales.
In terms of wo talks the most, dolphins are considered to be the contenders for the title. "It's almost never quiet - they are always, always vocalizing. " But they are below water, so we don't think about it much.
Writing on the subject differentiates humans from the rest of the animals - I didn't find one article that compared human talking to other animals - just whether other animals could talk human, and then of those animals who talked the most. This seems a bit off to me - that even scientists consider humans superior and the "animal kingdom" inferior.
There's an article that asks if humans are animals. That's a BBC Science article asking about whether our brains are different from other animals. And questioning that Anthropocentrism. That's the belief that human beings are the central or most important entity in the universe.
In 2012, a series of leading scientists published the Cambridge Declaration on Consciousness, in which they claimed that consciousness of some imaginable kind is likely to be widespread, especially among mammals, birds, and cephalopods.
