People everywhere have thought about the communication and language abilities of non-human animals. Observing these creatures, it is evident that they have many ways of communicating with each other, but some would argue that humans' complex language makes them the most superior beings on Earth. Today, after numerous studies, we can discover that humans are really no different from the rest of the animal kingdom.BackgroundAnimals communicate with each other in different ways. Whether through auditory, visual or olfactory signals, animals constantly need communication. Auditory communication is the detection of different noises such as animal calls and cries to disseminate important information. Then, visual communication is the interpretation of an animal's movements, gestures or appearance. A dance or flash of feathers would be an example. Some visual signals are even innate, such as skin coloring. Finally, olfactory communication is considered to be specific odors, produced by the animal, such as spraying, that deliver a message. Species of all kinds use these signals to transfer information among themselves and with animals of different species. (Bright, 1994, p.95-97) “Animals rarely draw attention to themselves, because it could be dangerous...so an animal that announces its presence must do so for a good reason” (Bright, 1994, p.96). Regardless of the species, there are countless reasons why an animal may need to communicate. One of the main reasons an organization may need to communicate is the presence of a dangerous situation. When faced with potential danger, many creatures use signals to warn their fellow creatures. In particular, vervet monkeys use the auditory sign...... middle of article ......5_Llearning/5mod5.1_neuro.htmMyers, DG (2007). Psychology: Eighth edition in modules.
