Julio César Martínez Romero 
The Language of Wolves 

Languages are a very complex but incomplete part of our human relationships. If we want to understand the communication systems of other species, we will need to have a very clear idea of what we are looking for. Are we pretending to find in nonhuman animals a narrative-driven, teaching language that among human beings is used to deceive, manipulate, regret, and dream, a language that promotes the neglect of other communication clues? We need to carefully reflect on what our human languages are and wonder if such language characteristics will make sense in other environments in order to solve life problems different from the humans.
