I read about a research paper about animal language, and I will briefly introduce the topic. This research paper focuses on the language of human and animals. Although animals do not have an extensive system in their brains to communicate like humans, they have their own ways of communicating and interacting with each other.
First, it has been confirmed that human brains are very complex and have greater capacity than animals to form words and phrases. Studies with the apes have shown that animals could not produce sentences like humans could. However, there are similarities in how both humans and animals develop their language. Some birds and mammals grouped notes into syllables which eventually created words and phrases to make up sentences. This study have shown that animals and humans have similar structure in the language format. Moreover, humans and animals both use facial expressions to convey different messages. Animals can acknowledge the different facial expressions and figure out the different emotional states. Another method of communication animals use is dance. Bees dance to locate the location of their nest sites. Also, they communicate about the direction and location of the food and decide whether it is worth making the journey. I found this topic really interesting, and I learned new aspects to communication in animals. I did not know that animals used all these types of methods to communicate with each other. Although animals do not have a complex brain like humans do, they still have the capacity to express themselves.
