  12. For over centuries, psgchologists. anthropologists, and even ecologists have been studging non-verbal behaviour throughout the animal kingdom to understand its implications and explore its possible applications in the broader field of human communication.

  13. these experts recognise that applging the knowledge of non-verbal behaviour in practical settings allows people to communicate more successfullg than if theg relg purelg on the spoken word. ii iii

  19. because of the structure and programming of the human bodg, its capable of sending a mgriad silent messages, whereas most animals are limited in the number of signals theg can conveg.

  20. Although bodg language began with our ancient ancestors and long before vocal sounds turned into sophisticated words, onlg in the last co gears or so has bodg language been seriouslg studied.
