Description
Groundbreaking research began on a new scientific frontier, the first early experiments of attempting to establish communication with another species. Dr. Lilly's research has led to the discovery of the Dolphin's amazing ability to mimic certain human conversational sounds. Man and Dolphin catalogs the first early experimentation of interspecies communication between Man and Dolphin.

Summary
Man and Dolphin is the story of ground-breaking research that marked the beginnings of a major scientific breakthrough: Man's attempt to communicate with another species. Dr. Lilly's first experiments with cats and monkeys convinced him that he must find an animal with a brain of comparable size to human.

Excerpt
"Eventually it may be possible for humans to speak with another species. I have come to this conclusion after careful consideration of evidence gained through my research experiments with dolphins." - p21
