First I have to ask what "anthropocentric" refers to. Is that the belief that homo sapiens are special/better than other species?
Now for some speculation. While yes, all animals do communicate, their modes of communication are not as complex as language. Whether it is a cognitive advantage that has evolved, or a social one, humans appear to be the only species capable of communicating complex ideas through their mode of communication, which we call language. This idea does not argue that humans are better than other animals, only that we have developed a trait that, so far, is unique to our species on this planet.
