A Time Before Deception "Indigenous Forms of Communication"

This chapter is very interesting because it explores the other means by which peoples communicate. It is easy to assume the communication is relatively specific, involving a transference of knowledge or ideas. This takes a oral or written form, both of which are based on language and/or text, these are necessary at the basic level. Even immediate connections require an understanding of language, you cannot communicate mental pictures so much as you can communicate ideas.

This chapter talks about communication that takes the form not only with verbal bases, but with signals, art, music etc. things that don't necessitate a communal language. This is an interesting concept. For these things to be used as a form of communication they have to become associated with another thing or meaning, this does not require a name or title, simply a meaning or idea or implication
