A growing literature illuminates the biological and evolutionary antecedents, consequences, and correlates of communication behavior.

This essay offers illustrative literature reviews for several communicative behaviors and argues that the communication discipline should embrace, rather than ignore, the bioevolutionary factors involved in human social behavior.
