- Dr. Denise Herzing has dedicated her career to studying a community of wild Atlantic spotted dolphins that live in the shallow, crystal clear waters of the Bahamas. Through non-invasive, in-water observation, she researches the animals’ social structure, behaviors and communication. Now modern technology is making it possible to correlate the dolphins’ sounds and behavior, bringing Herzing and her collaborators closer to decoding dolphin communication.

And thank you for doing this the right way, non-invasively, in a friendly way, inspiring, thought provoking, connecting with people, challenging our human limits =)
I found it sad that to this date this video has been viewed 20'000 times and only received 325 likes, for real people surely this is amazing to anyone that views it. Please like and share this video because it's worth it in my opinion
Cant wait to see where this goes!
Talking to dolphins might be in our lucky lifetime.
Wow using basically a real time dolphin translator...I've waited my whole life to know more about dolphin language, thanks for your great research. Dolphins have a larger brain than humans (almost similar brain to body mass ratio) and a higher density of gyri and sulci on their cortical surface...so I've always believed in their ability to understand to rival our own.
yeah this is truly amazing, talking to them in their own element with their own sounds. i'm thinking once we can get a GPT-3 level AI into one of these translators...
Dr. Denise Herzing and Dr. Adam A. Pack have produced excellent work in understanding some of the smartest creatures in the sea.
I saw her TED talk back in 2013. She was already working on the two-way communication experiment back then. I would've thought they already had some results by now...I wonder what happened. Maybe they briefly lost funding
This is such a HUGE undertaking! Its going to take decades of research to get any solid info.
@@delayed_control The AI that was implemented should be able to jump-start progress
This is no small undertaking. We only have one example of an animal that for sure has a language (humans), and the way that we communicate (through moving our tongue in our mouths and making sounds with our tongue and, in some language, modifying your pitch) might be completely and utterly alien to how dolphin language may work.
We're coming at this from the perspective of humans and every single step in this process takes a monumental technology or technique or model. As the PI said, the tools that scientist's have needed to analyze these data have only really existed in the last few years, and more better technology is needed. I suspect within our lifetimes, though, this problem will be solved.
If confirmed, this would also be the first non-human animal we definitively show has a language and has intelligence on par with us. It would completely revolutionize how we think about ourselves and our place on the planet and in the Universe. I think the implications of what these researchers could find could force us to completely reconsider what it means to be conscious or sentient. Think also that this has implications for talking with an extraterrestrial intelligent species, because the way they could communicate could be just utterly unimaginable to us.
Great documentary! Dolphins are Amazing
Excellent break-through science in human-dolphin communication!
I've never seen a spotted dolphin! Love at first sight! Gotta visit them down in the Bahamas someday.... :)
That was hella great, and quite informative. Wonderful upload!
The dolphin linguistics and categorising their speech reminds me of arrival!
Life imitates art, as one could say.
Also the Moray eel has a secondary jaw that shoots out like the movie Alien
Look it up, you'd probably find it interesting
Very much so.
I always looked at Arrival as more Asian inspired because the ink circles were similar to Asian calligraphy and their ornate glyphs.
But yes, the sonic component was aquatic inspired.
People really need to think outside the box to crack these codes though.
We need to think in extraordinary terms and with creativity beyond our human perspective to better understand their communication.
Cetaceans use clicks, tones, timbre, and rhythm even. The clicks are spaced out probably perfectly to how they're utilized.
It could be as wild as one click different changing the meaning.
We need to look for phonetics, but also for completely different structures of semantic representation by sound.

Why no comments? Good stuff.
Here’s how something like this leads to a crazy, Nobel prize caliber breakthrough...
Their wearable computers ultimately gain internet connectivity via the spacex star link, etc so data starts getting thrown all over the world in real time. We start to discover things like “languages”, “dialects” and “profanity” that exist based on location and species...or at least the “dolphin brand” of such concepts. This later leads to an understanding of things like “culture”, “xenophobia” and “racism” in dolphins. Throughout this time, researchers build relationships, trust and friendships with certain groups and true information exchange develops. At SOME POINT during this, we work with a group that ultimately helps us with some discovery or some concept of which we were previously unaware leading to the first, true interspecies scientific discovery. As far as earthly, non-cosmic science goes...that would be as absolutely mindblowing as it comes.
EDIT: I really wish I were an Elon Musk type billionaire funding machine sometimes. If I had the means, I would just shower this chick with 100 million dollars or so and say “look, there are no strings attached here...you don’t answer to me...I know NOTHING about this but I know it’s important. Put this where you think it needs to go, contract whatever outside source, build whatever you need and let er rip. Just maybe don’t spend it all on coke and hookers...if, however, you guys account for all (or most) of it and build something truly great, maybe we can do some work down the road as well”.
Something actually rated G. A thing I have not seen in over a decade. (even kids cartoons are pg)
Thank You for caring about these beautiful intelligent dolphins 🐬.
The ocean makes me anxious, but the animals are pretty amazing.
What a gig! The dolphins are beautiful and amazing🐬💕
Dolphins communicate with sound pictures. Sort of reverse echolocation. They can communicate a picture of a fish for example or objects they seen or can imagine. They have this melting of the senses where they use sound to get visual information. There is evidence this, but not a lot of data. They've done an experiment where they recorded the reflected click-sounds that reflects off of objects when dolphins echolocate. They've then introduced new dolphins and played back the same echo for them in a game where they had to identify objects. They got it right 87% of the time, which suggests that there is something to this theory. It would certainly explain a lot about dolphin communication and their language and how they are able to coordinate with each other in the way that they do.
Were the sounds of objects they couldn't have possibly seen before?
do you have a link to this research?
Mmmm...it doesn't surprise me that they can interpret good human-recorded reflections of their own or other's echolocation clicks *when replayed to them,* or that they could do the same with reflections of *another* dolphin's original clicks, *as they make them.*
But I doubt very much that they could *themselves* physically reproduce that reflected wavefront, for the benefit of others...
Think of it as like humans using a flashlight:
I see and understand what *my* light illuminates right now,
I see and understand what *your* light illuminates right now,
I see and understand that video camera recording of what *my or someone else's* light illuminated at an earlier time, when displayed on that video screen...
But my *flashlight* can't reproduce the intricate light reflection from what *I or anyone else* illuminated at an earlier time, it can only generate simple white light, not visual detail.
...but happening with sound produced by their internal organs, instead of a light device.
Cool!
Maybe in the future there will be Dophin Language class or app from this research.
I'm so stoked for that!
Class lol like we can make dolphin sounds
I never heard of this show or any of the sponsors. But I know that the man narrating has also narrated for the PBS show Nova. I love the way he talks.
The crazy thing about the dolphins is that an area will have its own language. Just how small the groups would be regarding language grouping and accent changes ect would be a study thesis in itself. Humans have these groupings and one could study humans for some insight.
I'm definitely seeing the spotted dolphin breed . Are striped dolphins different in speech fluency ?
Amazing work!
This is extremely wholesome.
No one talking about the dolphin handshake at 5:46?
I hope we can do this very soon
Me too, Dr. Kujo, me too
I believe understanding the dolphin mind is a positive step towards understanding our human mind!
I think your study would benefit tremendously from the findings on how humans are energy vibrating at high and different frequencies. And the things you manifest in your life come from the frequencies you are emotionally invested in and act in your daily life in order to make your goals a reality.
Uh... what does that have to do with this in the slightest?
@@davidguthrie7168 Hey David! Thank you for the comment. Watch the video & let me know if you find why :D
@@worldwecan Pretty sure he already watched it, and so did I, and we still don't know what you're on about. Also stop thanking people for their comments on other people's videos, it's passive aggressive.
Das.. he thanked the person for the response to his comment not for a comment on the video.. seems like you’re the one being passive aggressive. It’s pretty clear what he’s talking about if you’re understanding energy/frequency/sonar/ so on. Don’t attack someone because you don’t understand them.
this is great hopefully we can learn enough to give them their own voice. it would b amazing if they could tell us how they feel about being used at amusement parks. although i bet i can tell ya what theyd say
Yes that would be really good.
Who are watching the adds to support ChangingseasTV?
i've always wonderer about this. I'm so glad someone is trying to comunicate with them, real comunication ! i hope it goes well. and hope to hear about this again soon :)
It's unfortunate that we don't give animals the credit that they deserve for their intelligence.
@Rolls Gracie You're crazy, huh.
Because we are ignorant. Who is the great one that classifies intelligence. What it means to us might be meaningless to other living beings. The Bull ants that live next door don't use chemical trails to find their way around. They use land marks to navigate. That is intelligence.
@Rolls Gracie but whats my ego got to do with it?
@Rolls Gracie You're done with a conversation that never even started. You just wrote 4 comments of gibberish and then said you're done with the conversation.
@Rolls Gracie I think this is a dolphin trying to communicate with us
They probably have more vocabulary than the young men of my neighbourhood.
This seems like it has a backstory 😂
so long and thanks for all the fish
Dolphins communicate with body language, sonar clicks, high-frequency audio-visual pictograms and dolphin language that is extremely different from human languages because it's based on water instead of air. They can hear and see their very unique languages.
BEAUTIFUL.
SO incredibly cool. Thank you.
Only names are deciphered now, and there still is no clue about grammar?
Heroic scientists, doing this work; It looks like a huge mountain to climb.
I would love to help them. what classes Do I need to take?
Wow, mind blowing. How clever are these creatures! They understood us without technology we had to create data, machines to understand them, but they figured us out with their intelligence🤯.
Great job these institution are doing 👏🏽
Dolphins communicate telepathically. They understand us well, therefore, because every human being communicates telepathically, but the most humans has forgotten to receive telepatie. I have been communicating for many years telepathically with animals and deceased humans or higher dimensional souls that are not human at all, but completely beautiful beings. Humans also converse more or less telepathically, but they are not aware of it. 🙂
Why don't you try asking them what they call things instead of you training them to accept your interpretations of objects. Try to figure out how to ask them for the names of things. That way you can learn their language. Thats the approach I would take. Just an idea.
yes tht's a great idea
You still have to at least get to the point of being *able* to ask "How do you designate 'X'?"
The slow motion recordings of Hummingbirds I’ve made reminds me of Dolphins.
Nice. Noninvasive, friendly species checking each other out. 🐬 🌊 💙 Thanks!
i love dolphins and you are and an insperation to me and i am 8 years old
Beautiful
Back at dolphin HQ- We report the bipedals have evolved a crude voice box external to their bodies, they speak confused sounds which leads us to believe they are not intelligent
... so we have a fascination with the existence of extraterrestrials right? Why? Because it would be incredible to find another being that shared our intelligence. Why is there so much thought spent looking "Out there" when we have the 'aliens' 'down here'!? The revelations that come from understanding dolphins will make the entire world feel as if they'd had an important answer right under their noses. I can't now, but I will also dedicate decades to bringing the truth of these beings to light.
"Aliens" is probably more exciting and probably seems more convenient, cuz we somehow think we'll have a pretty easy time communicating with them cuz "they smart". Humans consider most animals unintelligent, because they're not intelligent in the human way. Therefore they extrapolate this assumption to Aliens and how they *must* be more like us than animals.
Would be funny if we do make contact with aliens but then have to spend decades figuring out how to communicate with each other.
Glad they don’t kidnapp them and hold them hostage in dolphin boxes to learn about them.
Matthias is one handsome scientist!
I think the dolphins just wanted a pint of 'ALE'
One of Humans problems is not that we dont give human aspects to dolphins or any other animal But we like to give only our best attributes Thats Not Good Need to Give all Good Bad and Ugly That Being said all of the Dolphin family are Truly an Alien Species they Live in A Different world and are exceptionally intelligent
Currently in the academic world, and since Herbert Terrace's critisism at Columbia University of Nim Chimpsky, it is held that animals cannot actually speak, and that all current research is only showing reward based unintelligent phrase repetition, for apes as well as dolphins.
But it seems once some of the systems will be cracked, with crows, dolphins or apes, we will be looking at Chomsky's skepticism the way we now see Einsteins skepticism about the movement of tectonic plates, the question that was posed to the discoverer of Bat Echo-Location with the question: If Bats can see from their ears, where do you think from! (With loud laughter and clapping from the men of the British Royal Socienty of Science) Same goes for the belief in the existance of a synapse between the axons and ganglions at the neural junction. And of course the question if rockets could ever escape Earth's gravity, because there is no "fuel" that can explode fast enough.
how is rewards-based behavior considered unintelligent, i wonder. an economist would say that is the highest intelligence lol
@@nmarbletoe8210 What I wrote is sad not "lol". Sadly, I am reporting the factual current stance of mainstream science.
@@pashute12 Yeah I agree. I was laughing at the irony.
Economists say that seeking reward is the highest form of intelligence known to man, but animal behaviorists say it isn't even smart.
Animals think and have feelings, and they calculate and plan ahead. Dolphins seem to use both symbolism and syntax.
Maybe we need some juvenile humans to go in and hear ;)
00:00:00
So cool I love the dolphins 🐬🐬🐳🐚🐋😍😍🍩😄 I WANT To SEE A 🐬
Do they have ears though?
Yes.
I love it
Great intelligence without global reach is what dolphins can teach us societally.
I think this research proves that it will be the aliens teaching us about their language, with their more advanced technology... Communication comes from the more advanced to the less advanced...
She's the dolphin whisperer
7:26
ok.. when I can talk to dolphins??
💖💕 love them,
КРАСИВО ДА 😂 😘🐬💖КРАСАВЦЫ 🐻 КОРОЛЬ ЛЕСА 😂👍👏
be dope af to just chill with some dolphins for an hour
How about 100 hours?
though my only problem is
It doesn't matter weather you can communicate with them even in some extent
yes you might be able to understand each other
but being constraint underwater, they just dont know each other
they havent constructed a particular good working language syntax, why?
because they don't have pens and papers to develop a language long enough and brains can only remember enough.
similar to an isolated tribes, or our ancestors
i wrote something on one note about method on understanding dolphins after watching the ted talk then youtube recommended this to me afterwards, and it interestingly enough, they matches
whats the most logical path will be to take is to let then understand us instead,
with brain interface, let one of them get an artificial hands and teach them how to use it
give them the ability to emulate mouth speaking to a certain extent and teach them our language
as its shown that they have the ability to comprehend language syntax
in general, get them to be able to explore the world enough to build up their vocabulary by educating them from scratch
that way we can truly find their limit
homo sapiens are the surviving species because of the fact that were able to talk and remember,
which means we can associate what we coincidentally speak what we sense and remember it that we can make patterns
and with having hands and living inland, we can create better tools in which we created pens and papers that we make artificial memories we can recall better anytime
which means we can create language in enough time
which means we can create societies
so yes, to understand dolphins better, let them live our lives
sorry if it's badly written, too lazy to fix, just showing out my thoughts
Yk instead of localizing the equipment they made the more advanced material first lmao something that localizes an event as opposed to something that is localized as an event
The reason i came
i saw water
You, I like you
If people can decipher Egyptian hieroglyphics, then they should be able to decipher sound waves which is what the Dolphin language consists of. Just a thought.
I hope you can figure it out to the point where you can have a conversation or at the very least learn to say hi and good bye. :)
famously, we were only able to decipher hieroglyphics because we had the rosetta stone
@@ffghjj9996 but the dolphins are here with us to talk to, unlike ancient egyptians
Oh to be a Dolphin, swimming and playing with weird Land-Mammals.
Senior research fellow????
They gonna be pissed when they learn that every group has their own language. 😂
I wonder if Neuralink will play a part here. I imagine someone who has immediate access to AI being able to figure out the language pretty quickly. Then they could have a translator app through their phone
Every little girl's dream - to grow up and study Dolphins !!
MARINE BIO GANG WYA
Oh my the sound they make kinda sounds like teeth grinding..ahhhhh!!! So cringy for me to listen lol. Am I the only 1??? 😫😫😟
Iamsayicotnotcodepl.
Bremmer cracked the dolphin code yrs ago.watch dolphin lover
Be vegan! 💕 ☀️
Each animal is a soul like you. 🐬
F this. Sorry
what? why?
