Why Animals Talk: The New Science of Animal Communication Arik Kershenbaum Penguin Random House UK, PS, 2024

'Wonderful . . . Endlessly interesting and beautifully written' DAILY TELEGRAPH 'Steady-headed and fun' SUNDAY TIMES 'Read this book and, I promise, you'll never listen to animals in the same way again' JESSICA PIERCE, author of Who's a Good Dog? Why Animals Talk is a scientific journey through the untamed world of animal communication. From the majestic howls of wolves and the enchanting chatter of parrots to the melodic clicks of dolphins and the spirited grunts of chimpanzees, these diverse and seemingly bizarre expressions are far from mere noise. In fact, they hold secrets that we are just beginning to decipher. For example, wolves – just like humans – possess unique accents that distinguish their howls, and not only do dolphins give themselves names, but they also respond excitedly to recordings of the whistles of long-lost companions. Chapter by chapter and animal by animal, Kershenbaum draws on his extensive research and observations of animals in the wild to explain the science behind why animals are communicating. Also revealing profound insights into our own language and why it is different, Why Animals Talks tells the comprehensive story of communication and how it works across the entire animal kingdom. 'Quirky, insightful . . . based on a deep understanding of recent research' TIM CLUTTON-BROCK, author of Meerkat Manor 'A new look at a fascinating subject' DESMOND MORRIS, author of The Naked Ape

Why Animals Talk: The New Science of Animal Communication Arik Kershenbaum Penguin Random House UK, PS, 2024

Animal communication has forever seemed intelligible. We are surrounded by animals and the cacophony of sounds that they make—from the chirping of songbirds to the growls of lions on the savanna—but we have yet to fully understand why animals communicate the way they do. What are they saying? This is only part of the mystery. To go deeper, we must also ask, what is motivating them? Why Animals Talk is an exhilarating journey through the untamed world of animal communication. Following his international bestseller, The Zoologist’s Guide to the Galaxy, acclaimed zoologist Arik Kershenbaum draws on extensive original research to reveal how many of the animal kingdom’s most seemingly confusing or untranslatable signals are in fact logical and consistent—and not that different from our own. His fascinating deep dive into this timeless subject overturns decades of conventional wisdom, inviting readers to experience for the first time communication through the minds of animals themselves. From the majestic howls of wolves and the enchanting chatter of parrots to the melodic clicks of dolphins and the spirited grunts of chimpanzees, these often strange expressions are far from mere noise. In fact, they hold secrets that we are just beginning to decipher. It’s one of the oldest mysteries that has haunted Homo sapiens for hundreds of thousands of years: Are animals talking just like us, or are we the only animals on the planet to have our own language?

Путеводитель зоолога по Галактике: что земные животные могут рассказать об инопланетянах - и о нас самих: [12+] Арик Кершенбаум; перевод с английского [Марии Елифёровой] Viking, an imprint of Penguin Books, Книжные проекты Дмитрия Зимина, Москва, Russia, 2022

DISCOVER HOW LIFE REALLY WORKS - ON EARTH AND IN SPACE We are unprepared for the greatest discovery of modern science. Scientists are confident that there is alien life across the universe yet we have not moved beyond our perception of 'aliens' as Hollywood stereotypes. The time has come to abandon our fixation on alien monsters and place our expectations on solid scientific footing. Using his own expert understanding of life on Earth and Darwin's theory of evolution - which applies throughout the universe - Cambridge zoologist Dr Arik Kershenbaum explains what alien life must be like: how these creatures will move, socialise and communicate. For example, by observing fishes whose electrical pulses indicate social status, we can see that other planets might allow for communication by electricity. As there was evolutionary pressure to wriggle along a sea floor, Earthling animals tend to have left/right symmetry; on planets where creatures evolved mid-air or in soupy tar they might be lacking any symmetry at all. Might there be an alien planet with supersonic animals? Will they scream with fear, act honestly, or have technology? Is the universe swarming with robots? Dr Kershenbaum uses cutting-edge science to paint an entertaining and compelling picture of extra-terrestrial life. The Zoologist's Guide to the Galaxy is the story of how life really works, on Earth and in space. *** 'If you don't want to be surprised by extraterrestrial life, look no further than this lively overview of the laws of evolution that have produced life on earth' - Frans de Waal, author of Mama's Last Hug - Animal Emotions and What They Tell Us about Ourselves 'A fun, and thoroughly biological, exploration of possible and impossible alien beings. If you'd love to know what real aliens from other planets might really be like, this is the book for you' - Susan Blackmore, author of Seeing Myself 'Surveying the deep-time of evolution on Earth and his own cutting-edge research into animal communication, Kershenbaum provides a fascinating insight into the deepest of questions: what might an alien actually look like' - Lewis Dartnell, author of Origins 'Arik Kershenbaum takes us on a joyous voyage of animal diversity and illustrates the singular importance of natural selection in explaining life - here on Earth - and what will likely be discovered throughout the galaxy. A stimulating read!' - Daniel T. Blumstein, Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of California Los Angeles

The zoologist's guide to the galaxy : what animals on Earth reveal about aliens - and ourselves Arik Kershenbaum Penguin Books, Penguin Random House LLC, New York, 2021

From a noted Cambridge zoologist, a wildly fun and scientifically sound exploration of what alien life must be like, using universal laws that govern life on Earth and in space. Scientists are confident that life exists elsewhere in the universe. Yet rather than taking a realistic approach to what aliens might be like, we imagine that life on other planets is the stuff of science fiction. The time has come to abandon our fantasies of space invaders and movie monsters and place our expectations on solid scientific footing. But short of aliens landing in New York City, how do we know what they are like? Using his own expert understanding of life on Earth and Darwin's theory of evolution--which applies throughout the universe--Cambridge zoologist Dr. Arik Kershenbaum explains what alien life must be like: how these creatures will move, socialize, and communicate. For example, by observing fish whose electrical pulses indicate social status, we can see that other planets might allow for communication by electricity. As there was evolutionary pressure to wriggle along a sea floor, Earthling animals tend to have left/right symmetry; on planets where creatures evolved in midair or in soupy tar, they might be lacking any symmetry at all. Might there be an alien planet with supersonic animals? A moon where creatures have a language composed of smells? Will aliens scream with fear, act honestly, or have technology? The Zoologist's Guide to the Galaxy answers these questions using the latest science to tell the story of how life really works, on Earth and in space.

Guida galattica per naturalisti Arik Kershenbaum [Kershenbaum, Arik] Il Saggiatore, 2021

L'esistenza di pianeti abitabili all'esterno del Sistema solare è ormai certa e gli scienziati sono convinti che presto scopriremo forme di vita extraterrestri; ma siamo davvero pronti per il primo contatto con gli alieni, visto che la nostra fantasia continua a essere popolata dalle creature fantastiche e inquietanti generate nel nostro immaginario dai romanzi e film di fantascienza? Per Arik Kershenbaum dobbiamo partire da ciò che sappiamo della vita sul nostro pianeta: il modo in cui sono fatti gli organismi terrestri può dirci come potrebbero essere fatti i viventi degli altri mondi. Su qualsiasi pianeta, come sulla Terra, gli animali dovranno muoversi, trovare cibo, sfuggire ai predatori, riprodursi, comunicare con i propri simili; e i loro corpi saranno plasmati dalle forze dell'ambiente e dell'evoluzione. Basta uno sguardo più attento alle soluzioni della vita intorno a noi per farci un'idea dei possibili ecosistemi alieni e formulare ipotesi affascinanti quanto plausibili. Grazie a "Guida galattica per naturalisti" scopriamo così che lo scheletro di un delfino, simi- e a quello di un antico ittiosauro, potrebbe essere anche il modello per altri agili predatori acquatici; che in ambienti in cui non ci si può affidare alla vista potrebbero essere diffuse le comunicazioni attraverso suoni, come nei pipistrelli, o segnali elettrici, come in alcune specie di pesci. Visitiamo mondi acquatici ricoperti da una crosta di ghiaccio eterno, sotto la quale organismi simili a gran- chi e vermi potrebbero vivere capovolti; pianeti costellati di laghi di idrocarburi su cui gli animali potrebbero spostarsi con ciglia o pedicelli come molti invertebrati; atmosfere gassose talmente dense da poter ospitare ecosistemi aerei, domi- nati da esseri simili a meduse volanti.

Quel serait le portrait-robot d’un alien ? La question est brûlante, alors que les découvertes d’exoplanètes se multiplient et que des sondes sillonnent le Système solaire à la recherche de traces de vie. Or il n’y a qu’une façon de se préparer au "premier contact", nous dit l’auteur, zoologiste reconnu : identifier les lois de l’évolution sur Terre et, par un audacieux retournement, les appliquer aux autres mondes. Mouvement, langage, intelligence, sociabilité, etc. : les animaux en disent long sur les formes possibles de vie extraterrestre. Ils sont là depuis des millions d’années et ont dû s’adapter à diverses catastrophes naturelles comme à l’apparition de nouvelles espèces. C’est ainsi que des êtres se déplaçant à l’aide de cils, à la façon de nombreux invertébrés, pourraient bien peupler les lacs de méthane de Titan, tandis que la communication par champ électrique développée par le poisson-couteau ferait merveille dans un océan obscur... Une fascinante réflexion sur les mécanismes au coeur du règne animal et, partant, de notre humanité.

Ein Naturführer durch den Kosmos. Was terristrische Tiere über Außerirdische verraten - und über uns selbst Arik Kershenbaum; Dirk Höfer Friedenauer Presse. ein Imprint von MSB Matthes & Seitz Berlin Verlagsgesellschaft mbH, Bookwire GmbH, Berlin, 2023

Grüne Marsmenschen und telepathische Cyborgs kennen wir nur aus der Science-Fiction, die wissenschaftlichen Entdeckungen einfachen bakteriellen Lebens auf anderen Planeten erscheinen dagegen alles andere als aufregend. Doch wie könnte extraterrestrisches Leben, das komplexer ist als Einzeller, wirklich aussehen? Dieser Frage nähert sich der britische Zoologe Arik Kershenbaum ebenso wissenschaftlich wie spielerisch an. Geleitet wird er dabei von der Überzeugung, dass im All nicht nur die universellen Gesetze der Physik und Chemie gelten, sondern auch die der Biologie. Kenntnisreich und anhand von unzähligen mal komischen, mal bizarren, immer aber überraschenden Beispielen erläutert er jene Grundsätze, die unabhängig von unserem Heimatplaneten auch in anderen Galaxien gelten dürften, insbesondere das der Evolution durch natürliche Selektion. Kershenbaum nimmt uns mit auf eine Reise durch die Welten und führt uns die Kuriositäten der terrestrischen Tierwelt vor, von afrikanischen Fischen, die über elektrische Signale kommunizieren, weiblichen Erdmännchen, die sich komplett der Erziehung ihrer Neffen und Nichten hingeben, bis hin zu Ameisen, die als Gemeinschaft Pilze züchten. Und auch Beispiele aus bekannten Filmen wie Star Trek oder Romanen wie Die schwarze Wolke, Moby-Dick bis Harry Potter dienen der Veranschaulichung. So ist der Naturführer durch den Kosmos ein höchst unterhaltsamer Ausflug durch die Tier- und Pflanzenwelt unseres Planeten und darüber hinaus.

Наши представления об инопланетянах как о необычной форме жизни зачастую основаны на зрелищных голливудских фильмах и фантастических рассказах. Однако биологические законы, действующие на нашей планете, работают во всех уголках Вселенной. Опираясь на свои профессиональные знания, наблюдения за животными и дарвиновскую теорию эволюции, зоолог Арик Кершенбаум рассказывает о том, какие черты, свойственные обитателям Земли, могут быть присущи формам инопланетной жизни. Автор приводит большой список литературы для тех, кто хочет более глубоко погрузиться в эти темы.
