Of course she would be able to communicate. Cats and dogs can communicate to us.

Ok, communicate using complex language. She's not going to be picking up English at even a basic level.

Humans were speaking by 42,000 years ago. And even if not, she would have all the physiological equipment, unlike Koko.

Why not? She probably already speaks more than one language, and they're probably both more complex than English. Many people learn languages quite unlike their native language late into their adulthood, but she's probably fairly young.

Why can’t she? A child comes into this world with nothing and learns to speak in time.
