Resumen

El propósito de este artículo es introducir al lector al estudio de la zoosemiótica. Para esto, primero se ejemplifica la inconsistencia del pensamiento neodarwiniano al estudiar la comunicación animal. Posteriormente, se muestra un análisis recopilatorio de las principales herramientas conceptuales y autores, que contribuyeron a la formación de la zoosemiótica. Luego se señalan sus principales contribuciones conceptuales al estudio de la evolución: homosemiosis, mimetismo y oxímoron morfológico. Por último, se resumen los métodos y herramientas que se utilizan actualmente para investigar en zoosemiótica, y se señala cuáles son los fenómenos que más recientemente representan un reto para esta disciplina.
