Do Dolphins have language? And if so, can humans understand and interpret it? Those questions are at the heart of what researcher Dr. Denise Herzing has been trying to understand for several decades. Herzing and her team have spent years studying dolphins off the east coast of The Bahamas using sophisticated underwater technology. Herzing's work is part of the Templeton World Charity Foundation's Diverse Intelligences project. Understanding language is a major obstacle in recognizing the diversity of intelligence across species on Earth. Do other species besides humans have language? How would we recognize a non-human language if it existed? And how might we begin to not only assess the structure and patterns of signals, but interpret the meaning of non-human communication signals?
