"I think it's another humbling moment that we're not the only species with rich, communicative, communal and cultural lives," said David Gruber, founder and president of Project CETI. "These whales could be passing information along generation to generation to generation for over 20 million years. Humans now are just having the right tools and desire to be able to look at whale voices in this way to see the complexity that has been there all along."

A "humbling" research finding: Sperm whales communicate surprisingly like us

Their vocalizations have “close parallels in the phonetics and phonology of human languages.”

"We're in the middle of an election season, so one thing I always think about is: How do we vote for people who care about this? We need people who get it, who are going to prioritize it. We need to elect people up and down the ballot — on city council, school boards, public utility commissions, all of it.

Climate change needs to be near the top of their list of priorities. As citizens, as voters, we can advocate for politicians to care more about this. We can ask, what is your climate platform? Are you thinking about clean energy as you're thinking about building affordable housing?

Another important thing is how we spend our money. A lot of people don't understand that voting with your dollars is a very real thing. We've seen that in the last few years as people have boycotted various streaming services or other corporations — that really makes a difference."
