👉 protogaster is a term used in linguistics and cognitive science to describe a type of animal that has acquired some or all of its language and cognitive abilities from other animals. This can occur through natural selection, where individuals with traits that are advantageous for survival and reproduction may be better adapted to their environment than those without the same traits. Protogaster is often used in discussions about evolution and adaptation, as it suggests that certain species have evolved complex behaviors and cognitive processes over time due to selective pressures
