English term or phrase: ornate
Hello,
There's a paragraph containing 3 expressions which sound unclear to me. I'll be discussing the expressions in three separate questions.
------
Here's the context:
1.As psychologist Warner argues, many of our exceptional human traits, such
as our ornate language skills, our religious fervor, our humor and moral virtue,
are too ornate, too metabolically expensive, and too useless in the struggle for
existence to have evolved merely so we could survive another day. They must
have emerged, at least in part, to help us court and win the mating game.

پیچیده


Explanation:
این صفت به معنی «پر زرق و برق» و «پر نقش و نگار» می‌باشد.

ولی به نظر بنده برای زبان بهتر است بگوییم «مهارت های زبانی پیچیده».
