I felt such a deep connection with dolphins. I felt like they were the only ones who understood me.

Who doesn't like dolphins? They're like puppies.

We're not just social animals in the conventional way that people think. It's not just a bunch of us who hang out together. We have a very specific pattern of ties, and they have a particular shape and structure that is encoded in our genes. It means that human beings have evolved to live their lives embedded in social networks.

When I see a dolphin, I know it's just as smart as I am.

It is hard to get animals which normally pay little attention to each other to do things together. One can teach dolphins to jump simultaneously out of the water precisely because they show similar behavior spontaneously, but try to make two domestic cats jump together and you will fail.

I've been a Dolphin for 17 years, and I'll be a Dolphin for the rest of my life. That will never change.

Human beings are social animals; we devote a significant portion of our brain just to dealing with interactions with other humans.

Humans are social beings, and we are happier, and better, when connected to others.

At the end of the day, humans are social animals and we are at our best when we get to do things with others who appreciate and enjoy what we enjoy. It's what keeps us human.

We're highly social animals - I'm told by scientists that what makes us different from other animals is an acute social awareness, which is what has made us so successful.
