Talking to the Dolphins


“It is of interest to note that while some dolphins are reported to have learned English -- up to fifty words used in correct context -- no human being has been reported to have learned dolphinese.” ~Carl Sagan

When looking at amazing phenomenon of life on our planet, it becomes more and more apparent that we are one node on an intricate web, not the pinnacle of the evolutionary process.  If we learned the language of the dolphins, what new and amazing things could we learn?  Quite possibly, we would become aware of ways to protect our planet’s fragile ecosystem as well as potentially further our own evolution.
