Chimps also combine vocalizations to create new meanings and contexts for communication. https://phys.org/news/2025-05-language-wild-chimps-mirror-linguistic.html #chimpanzees #chimps #vocalizations #communication
Origins of language: Wild chimps mirror linguistic structures in human language

Humans are the only species on Earth known to use language. They do this by combining sounds into words and words into sentences, creating infinite meanings.

Scientific #discovery involves making mistakes, but these are often omitted from official reports. In this preprint, I recount a #mistake which led to the discovery that #rats were making ultrasonic #vocalizations while playing. Scientific serendipity is worth celebrating! (thanks to Markus Wöhr for encouragement to submit the tale for a special issue on ultrasonic vocalizations).

How We Stumbled Upon the Rat Vocalizations

Over a quarter of a century later, most rodent researchers know that specific types of ultrasonic vocalizations in rats appear to index distinct affective state

Vocalization modulates the mouse auditory cortex even in the absence of hearing

Vocal communication depends on distinguishing self-generated vocalizations from other sounds. Vocal motor corollary discharge (CD) signals are thought…
