Communication and Langauge Development in Animals
A very open ended topic in which you may need to focus on one specific aspect. This paper could range from sign langauge in primates to the honey bee's waggle dance. If you can locate papers on the debate over the level animals communicate in comparison to humans you will produce a more interesting product. I do not want an animal report, focus only on the mechanisms and purpose of communication within animals.
