1. Vegetation covers the earth, except for those areas continuously covered with ice or utterly scorched by continual heat. Plants grow most richly in fertilized plains and river valleys, but plants also grow on the edges of perpetual snow on high mountains. Vegetation densely grows in the ocean, the ocean's edges, around lakes, and swamps. Plants also exist in the cracks of busy city sidewalks and in seemingly barren cliffs. Vegetation covered the earth before humans, and vegetation will remain long after evolutionary history swallows them up.

2. Animals do not have the power to create and communicate a new message to fit a new experience. Animal's genetic code limits the number and kind of messages each animal can communicate. For example, bees can only communicate information about distance, direction, source, and richness of pollen in flowers. Animals of the same species have a limited repertoire of messages delivered in the same way.

3. In his paper on children's thinking, Jones stressed the importance of language skills in children's problem solving abilities. Children improved in nonverbal problem solving as a result of improved language skills. The better performance was caused by children activating previously learned language habits for problem articulation. Problem solving in children may be enhanced by systematic practice in the verbal formulation of nonlinguistic problems.
