지난 28년동안 데니스 헤르징은 매 여름을 대서양알락돌고래 군집과 보내면서 돌고래의 가족관계와 행동을 3대에 걸쳐 추적했습니다. 돌고래들이 서로 소통한다는 것은 분명하지만 -- 그것이 언어일까요? 인간도 돌고래어를 쓸 수 있을까요? 그녀는 이를 검증하기 위한 매우 흥미로운 실험을 소개합니다. 

우리가 돌고래어로 말할 수 있을까요? 

Dolphins boast brains nearly rivaling humans and show stunning social complexity, from tool use to signature whistles that serve as names. After decades of underwater research, scientists have tracked three generations of wild Atlantic spotted dolphins in the Bahamas, using video and audio technology to pair behaviors with vocalizations. Experiments with underwater keyboards and wearable computers are pushing the frontier, aiming for true two-way communication between species. Even as breakthroughs remain elusive, each playful encounter brings us closer to understanding another intelligent mind on Earth.
