The existence and nature of emotions in non-human animals are believed to be correlated with those of humans and to have evolved from the same mechanisms.

In contrast to human language, animal communication systems are usually not able to express conceptual generalizations. (Cetaceans and some primates may be notable exceptions). [96] Human languages combine elements to produce new messages (a property known as creativity). One factor in this is that much human language growth is based upon ...
