The author explores how numerous species express emotions similar to humans, revealing insights about their social behaviors and interactions. The book highlights the complexity of animal minds, suggesting that many creatures possess rich inner lives that have previously gone unappreciated.
A significant aspect of the book is its examination of how animals communicate.
