Nonhuman communication

Nonhuman communication refers to the ways animals and other non-human species convey information to each other and sometimes to humans. It includes a variety of signals such as sounds, gestures, facial expressions, body postures, and chemical signals like pheromones. These methods help animals coordinate actions, mark territory, attract mates, alert others to danger, and establish social bonds. Unlike human language, nonhuman communication often lacks complex syntax and abstract concepts but is highly effective within each species' context for survival and social interaction. Researchers study these behaviors to better understand animal minds and the evolution of communication.
