These signs or movements include things like the way we move our hands or bodies or the different expressions our faces have in different social situations. A new study

49、on gorillas revealed that right-handedness- preferring to use the right hand instead of the left hand for most physical activities-may have a connection with communication.Two cameras were used to film all of one apes movements. One of the first results was that gorillas use their right hands more w

For example, some children have a serious illness called “autism” which can stop them communicating normally wi
