Abstract
Several issues are considered that are recognized as key when comparing the communication systems of humans and animals (in particular, anthropoids and monkeys): 1. The evolution of the symbolism of numbers and counting, in particular, the preservation in humans of two different systems for estimating quantity found in animals - a common one, not related to discrete counting, and another, involving the counting of separate differing objects. The development of some Amazonian languages ​​is considered, which led to the preservation of the first system with the almost complete disappearance of the second, which once relied on numerals that later disappeared. 2. Correlation in the evolution of speech, singing and music in connection with the problem of the primacy of song-type communication and with the identification of rhythmic activity in anthropoids. 3. Genetic origins of natural sound language in the light of recent discoveries concerning the evolution of the FOX P2 gene, which plays a role for communication in different animals (from birds and mice to humans) and, according to new data, has undergone similar changes in Homo sapiens and Neanderthals. 4. Information-theoretical approach to the languages ​​and thinking of humans and animals in connection with the development of ideas of quantum information theory in the works of LB Levitin and other major modern scientists.
