Description

Using dynamic systems theory, employed to study human communication, King demonstrates the complexity of apes’ social communication, and the extent to which their interactions generate meaning. As King describes, apes create meaning primarily through their body movements—and go well beyond conveying messages about food, mating, or predators.
