　　Throughout thehistory of mankind, people have communicated with body language. Although youprobably don’t realize you are doing it, you use your hands and the rest ofyour body every time you talk to someone.

It can be the key tosuccessful communication. It can show whether a person is friendly orunfriendly, interested or bored, clear or confused. However, eye contact canmean different things in different cultures. In Western cultures, making eyecontact in conversations is necessary.

We onlyhave to observe our pets to see how close animal and human body languages are.When a cat is feeling confident, it will stand very tall and point its noseinto the air. Humans do the same thing when they are feeling proud. They lifttheir heads and push out their chins. Chimpanzees are very similar to humans.For example, children often put their hands together and point their palms upwhen they want something. Chimpanzees use the same gesture to beg for food fromother members of their group.
