The author accepts that long before humans came along other species could hear sound. I think the point is that the sound of sound to phrase it awkwardly is manufactured in our brain - how we actually process it. Deaf species obviously don't hear sound but they process it differently. The causal event of sound is outside the brain but the AMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00559413440743290550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807238897188927967.post-68106738180603886332022-06-13T23:13:02.293+01:002022-06-13T23:13:02.293+01:00" In other words sound is manufactured in the..."

I always find it odd that Humans think it's all about them. We've been around for nary a fart compared to the age of the Universe yet sound didn't exist until ears and brains became betwixt?
