Programmatic question under inquiry: Why are we ignoring animal communication?

The inquiry about the animal communication should not be left out of the present inquiry space. Speech is one of the most perceived and identified stimulus free activity seen amongst the animate objects! It represents the free will and plays the most important role in determining the instant as well as future behavior. Many animal such as parrot seemed to have the faculty of sounds needed as present in human as they are able to reproduce it, but still they are not developing the skill! Don’t they want to develop this skill or they have their own ways to communicate? A bat emits sounds in inaudible range and so we don’t know if they are actually saying some word or not.

If we talk about our other senses like our sight, only a part of light frequency spectrum is visible to us, whereas if we talk about the bees, their visible range for frequency is far more. Scientist even conclude this by saying that probably bees are able to conceive more colors that humans do! Or probably as I think, the light spectrum the human see is spread across their visible frequency spectrum. If so, the object we see as orange might be still red for them. So, we don’t actually know, if the animal are communicating or not. It’s definite that they don’t use human kind of faculty for the same but they might be communicating via their own hidden ways!

Humans are constrained by their perception five senses. Even these senses are not complete in itself. It’s very well possible that we don’t have any ability to perceive them at all, but with the progress in technology, people have gone beyond their sense capabilities. Keeping the argument under the inquiry will enable the research in the field of communication. We are often bound by the linguistic constraints as many a time one witness in our day to day life! Probably, keeping an eye open to this inquiry will enable humans to be able to communicate more and with a higher frequency.

Further, communication doesn't mean only the verbal part of it. It can also relay via some other senses, like we all do when we fight or get angry. Certain signs can represent a scenario so effectively, that it can’t happen verbally. All these lumps together to form a free will part of the world’s society. Study of the animal communication, once incorporated to human lives, can enhance the degree of freedom for the free will. This will, in turn, help in understanding the philosophy of science underneath communication.
