In contrast ot other animals, human

In contrast ot other animals, humans have a sense of the past and the fugure. People often takl about things that are not present. They speak about events and things from distant times and places - - about things that happened years ago in far-away places. The use of language to talk about things other than the present action is a characteristic of humans. Displacement is the ability to convey a meaning that transcends the immediately perceptible sphere of space and time.
