Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Language allows for the transmission of complex ideas and cultural knowledge through symbolic communication. While other animals may have forms of communication, humans have developed a much more sophisticated system that allows for abstract thought and the expression of complex concepts. The other options, such as the brain or genes, are crucial components of human biology but do not fully explain the unique aspect of human culture transmission through language. Cuneiform and Esperanto are specific systems of written language and do not capture the larger concept of symbolic communication.
