Will we ever see animals evolve to a point where they write their own literature?

Don't be retarded, the literature of animals is their very existence, they write their own poetry through the shit they do and the roles the fulfill, each organism having their own role and challenges and instincts they get to face.

Actually, they transcend literature, literature's just authors relaying what they experience onto paper to use as a tool of some kind, it's to help them further experience life better, which is more important than literature, literature itself is a means to a better life through it being a recollection of past life lessons; an intellectual, metaphysical cache if you will.

Have to disagree with you completely. Literature transcends life not the other way around. Life is fleeting and ever changing and chaotic and random thus it can't tell us any eternal truths. Through literature we at least get close to them

You're a moron. Nature is not art. Though it may inspire it; art requires awareness and creativity.

Dolphins have been observed to tell stories. Isnt that considered literature? Or is literature only written word?

>> No.13475668

>>13475652
no og literature is an oral medium. please give source on your bs claim though. ive read about dolphins having some sort of "culture", since they do stuff which apparently has no purpose.

Whales tell each other secrets in cloudy water so it's harder to get them on tape.
