Talk:Human-animal communication

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Do you think BowLingual is notable enough for an article? It's recieved media coverage, and was named one of 2002's best inventions by Time Magazine. --Gray Porpoise^{Phocoenidae, not Delphinidae} 22:59, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

• Nah, don't bother, there's already one at Bow-Lingual. (Incidentally, I don't think the product name is hypenated). Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 23:31, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Thanks for pointing me to that. To match this article and the other that mentioned it, I moved Bow-Lingual to a title without the hyphen. --Gray Porpoise^{Phocoenidae, not Delphinidae} 00:59, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Would appreciate more links to scientific research if anyone can post - will try to find some as I learn more about this subject. IMHO, too many references to fiction and popular culture at the end of the article that are only superficially related to interpecies communication. There's been a lot of scientific research into human-cetation communication - I will also try to summarize as I learn more. This is a call to all subject matter experts to increase the scientific and referenced content in this article. Gwinerreniwg 23:28, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] change of title

this article badly needs a change of title. the current title implies that humans are somehow not 'animals.' we are in fact animals, and the title should reflect that. perhaps something like 'human-nonhuman communication' or 'human communication with other animals' or a merge with or taking over the 'interspecies communication' title. 72.244.201.231 08:13, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

This could use a lot more general focus on human and animal communication. The tidbits on dogs and parrots and dolphins are nice but there is a lot more animals in the world that communicate other than these three. The pieces at the end, the games and tv show links are a little off topic. This is not a history of animal and human communication, this should be focused around the science and comparisons of communication between humans and animals (or non humans)... Also, would you say humans are a different type of living thing other than an animal? Would you call a bug an animal? I'd support leaving the title as is. 67.176.76.119 06:50, 9 April 2007 (UTC)LEVI
