We take speech and comprehension for granted. Yet human language is a highly complex codified system that depends on a specialized center of the brain. In this program, we go back to the origins of human language. We learn that animals, too, have elaborate languages of their own, which scientists have only begun to decipher. We also discover that, despite their differences, humans and animals can learn to communicate with each other. (23 minutes)
