“The
study of deaf shows us that much of what is distinctively human in us -
our capacities for language, for thought, for communication and culture
- do not develop automatically in us, are not just biological actions,
but are, equally, social and historical in origin; that are a gift - the
most wonderful of gifts - from one generation to another. We see that
Culture is as crucial as Nature.” (Oliver Sacks, Seeing Voices)
