Descripción
Why Animals Talk is a scientific journey through the untamed world of animal communication. From the majestic howls of wolves and the enchanting chatter of parrots to the melodic clicks of dolphins and the spirited grunts of chimpanzees, these diverse and seemingly bizarre expressions are far from mere noise. They hold secrets that we are only beginning to decipher. Wolves, for example, possess unique accents that distinguish their howls, just as humans have accents. Dolphins not only give themselves names but also respond excitedly to recordings of the whistles of long-lost companions. Chapter by chapter and animal by animal, Kershenbaum draws on extensive research and observations of animals in the wild to explain the science behind animal communication. The book also offers profound insights into our own language and why it differs, telling the comprehensive story of communication and how it works across the entire animal kingdom.
