Cheltenham Science Festival - If We Could Talk To The Animals

Activity: Talk or presentation typesPublic lecture/debate/seminar

Description

As our understanding of animal behaviour improves, we have discovered some surprisingly sophisticated communication systems. But will we ever be able to chat to chimpanzees or converse with whales? Biologists Katie Slocombe and Luke Rendell join linguist David Adger to discuss whether animals have language in the same way we do, how we would ever know, and whether we could ever understand them.
