The Differences between verbal and non-verbal communication
Communication is a vital part of every living thing’s life. We as humans, use communication to understand each other, achieve things, and evolve. There are two types of communication: verbal and nonverbal (body language).

Nonverbal communication consists of the communication that other parts of the body are used to achieve. The amount of the information sent differs depending on which type of communication is used. Nonverbal behaviors comprise approximately 60 to 65 percent of all interpersonal communication and, during lovemaking, can constitute 100 percent …show more content…
This part of the brain is responsible for all the types of verbal communication (Paul Broca, 1861). Speech can be learned in an early stage of life, therefore people are used to it and it can easily be fabricated since its created by humans, because of that we cannot rely on it to find out if someone is lying or not.

Because of its primitive nature, body language can send limited information, for example explaining scientific phenomena cannot be done by non-verbal communication, since nonverbal communication is mostly constrained to expression of
