Izilwane

Lesi sigaba sihlola indlela izilwane—imizwa, izidalwa ezicabangayo—ezithintwa ngayo izinhlelo esizakhayo kanye nezinkolelo esizisekelayo. Kuzo zonke izimboni namasiko, izilwane aziphathwa njengabantu ngabanye, kodwa njengezingxenye zokukhiqiza, ukuzijabulisa, noma ucwaningo. Izimpilo zazo ezingokomzwelo azinakwa, amazwi azo athuliswa. Ngalesi sigaba, siqala ukukhohlwa lezo zinkolelo futhi siphinde sithole izilwane njengezimpilo ezinemizwa: ezikwazi ukuthandana, ukuhlupheka, ilukuluku, kanye nokuxhumana. Kungukuphinde sithole lezo esizifundile ukuthi asiziboni.
Izigaba ezincane ezikulesi sigaba zinikeza umbono onezigaba eziningi wokuthi ukulimala kuvamile futhi kwenziwa kanjani. I-Animal Sentience isiphonsela inselelo yokuqaphela izimpilo zangaphakathi zezilwane kanye nesayensi eyisekelayo.
