So, two species: One wrote Romeo and Juliet, the other drinks out of the toilet. One built the Library of Alexandria, the other still falls for it when you pretend to throw a ball but there’s nothing in your hand. The point is, if you’ve ever looked at your dog and said in the clearest voice possible, “bring me the newspaper” only to have him trot up to you with a groundhog in his mouth, you pretty much get the idea that he doesn’t process words precisely the way you do. But thanks to researchers at the University of Lincoln in the U.K. we now have proof. Better cancel the plans for that contemporary lit course the two of you were going to take together.
