God f*ck no. You still believe in that argument?
Like seriously? Like, you don't believe that animal communication exists?
No animal has ever taught a human being to speak, with the possible exception of Snorri.
In addition, the science of linguistics adds much weight to Jay's point. Language historians know for a fact that, as time goes by, languages are getting less and less complex, and easier and easier to learn. Sanskrit, for example, is now basically impossible for any human being to learn and speak fluently, whereas it was formerly learned and spoken fluently by millions. Latin is also much more complex and difficult to learn than its modern descendant languages, and there are many more examples.
Even English is getting simpler, not more complex, as time passes.
Human beings are not gaining intelligence as historical time passes; they are losing it. Language is but one of the many clear examples, in easily provable, real-life terms, of the devolution of man, and evidence that "evolution" from lower forms to higher ones is an out-and-out myth.
