Humans evolved to have a fairly unique communication system called "language." There is much debate about what exactly language is, however, it is often thought of as a much more complex system of communication (compared to most other animals' communication systems). Humans compete with each other primarily in social situations. This gives rise to the need for humans to be able to transfer complicated information between them in the most efficient way possible. The requirement to communicate a lot of complicated information, and the specific vocal physiology that enables them to use oral language, distinguishes humans from other animals.
