@spendius,
Quote:and these two special llamas don't know they have names either.
Do you really believe that?
I'm thinking animals do recognize their names, if they have them and are called by them often enough.
The assignment of names in society throughout the history of people and animals would be a very interesting subject in terms of the evolution of culture and the roles of animals vs. humans in a society or culture...
I like the name Aidan - but it doesn't really suit me. I'm much more of a Rebecca.
Hey, that just gave me another thought. I wonder how I'd have evolved differently if I'd been named Aidan as opposed to Rebecca.
Pom - I can't remember what their last name was. I want to say it started with a W and was something sort of common - like Williams or Wilson - but I'm not sure - I know it had two syllables - as all their first names did.
All sorts of fascinating subject matter possible under this teaching of evolution umbrella.
