Animal communication is classically defined as occurring when “...the action of or cue given by one organism [the sender] is perceived by and thus alters the probability pattern of behavior in another organism [the receiver] in a fashion adaptive to either one both of the participants” (Wilson 1975).

The emotional discoveries were only part of Goodall’s research. Through observational studies and careful note taking, the ethologist was able to make significant discoveries. Not only do chimps use tools, Goodall revealed, but in fact they make them. The discovery felt like a revelation to Leaky, who wrote at the time: “now we must redefine ‘tool,’ redefine ‘man,’ or accept chimpanzees as humans.”

Since the 1960s, technology has made it possible to better record wildlife and study primate cognition. At Gombe alone there are 9 different ways chimps make and use tools and this behavior is taught. “Because it seems these patterns are passed from one generation to the next, through observation, imitation and practice–that is the definition of human culture,” said Goodall in a TED talk. Goodall has spoken on the similarities between chimpanzees and humans and describes the line separating the two species as “wuzy.”

Why animals talk: Dr Arik Kershenbaum is decoding animal communication.

“We have to be careful not to think of animals having a language that we can translate. They are sending messages. But it’s not language. If we try to understand their communication as if it were human language, all we’re doing is imposing our own nature on them.”
