This is something I don't normally think about, but I found some very intriguing stuff on the issue. The first article is especially cool.
What Constitutes Proof in Ape Language Studies?
Tusker Trail: SETI News - Do Dolphins Talk?
What do you feel are indications that an animal might actually be an intelligent species?
IF a species can be proven to be intelligent, does it change how we should treat it, and how so? What if there is not proof, but ample evidence to constitute reasonable doubt? How should humanity ethically interact and coexist (or not?) with a species it suspects may be an intelligent species? Do any "natural rights" that you feel a human has specifically pertain to A) humanity alone, B) to socially and/or technologically civilized species, C) to intelligent species, or something else?
