Abstract

Communication is a global means through which ideas, thoughts and expressions are conveyed. This is found to be used by all living creatures to some extent or other. Human and animal communication is yet another sophisticated form of communication. It involves non-verbal speech, in the form of symbols, signs, gestures and other such ways.
 
In our everyday life, we communicate to animals in some way like we communicate with our pets at home, the birds that chirp in the morning, cats etc. Animals also communicate by the sense of smell, touch and sound.
 
We will be studying about the various forms of communication like tactile communication, which involves cultures and experiences as well. Visual communication involves signals, signs transmitted visually along with a text message to the receiver, chemical communication and so on. The power of reasoning and the ability to grasp things differs
between man and primates.
 
Animals do have the capacity and urge to learn something new, but the speed and time involved varies when compared to that of a human being. Animals take their own time to achieve new things. They also have different moods and act according to the environment.
 
Like humans, even animals need to communicate in some way or the other to satisfy their requirements in this world. Therefore, communication and language is very important and is
to be taken seriously, be it humans or non- humans. Let us now move in the detailed study of animal and human communication.
