From the Paper:

"In the complex and often tangled world of cultural anthropology, there are a host of questions for which no easy answers are apparent. For instance, any inquiry into why human beings act as they do - or comparatively, any inquiry into whether or not an understanding of human culture can be derived from close observation of animals - does not yield itself to easy resolutions. Be that as it may, the following paper will examine whether or not groups of animals share a language and/or culture. The paper will also explore the differences and/or similarities - such as they are - between human and animal culture and communication and argue whether or not there is a difference of degree and/or of kind between human beings and their animal counterpart.
