Part 4 - Language is the human capacity for using complex systems for communication. This may be through verbal, visual, or written means. Scholars disagree about the origin of language, but it is likely that it evolved through a necessity for humans to need to learn from each other and remember techniques and events that would allow them to survive. Syntax, or the way in which we put sounds together to form words, then words to other concepts, is hierarchical in nature. From an evolutionary perspective, it would focus on the issues for survival and procreation of the social unit. The labeled-line theory would tell us that each portion of the language is focused on a very specific quality.
The across-fiber pattern system focuses on patterns, and the way stimuli are put together to form meaning. Thus, it is likely that language is across-fiber pattern since, unlike many primitive languages that are less complex (subject, verb, object), language evolved into complex patterns that have divergent meanings that require interpretation.

Part 5 -- If a new chemical had no odor, humans could still likely detect it based on the unconscious notion of pheromones in the substance.
