- catalog abstract ""Rogers and Kaplan take us on a journey through communication in the animal world, offering insights on how animals communicate by sight, sound, smell, touch, and even electrical signaling. They explore a wide variety of communication patterns in many species of mammals and birds and discuss in detail how communication signals evolved, how they are learned, and what song and mimicry may mean." "An up-to-date account of the science of animal communication, this book also considers modern concepts and modern controversies, primarily those surrounding the evolution of human language and the use of symbolic language by apes. It concludes with a look at the future of communication between humans and animals."--Jacket.".
