flag Monkeys can yodel with frequency jumps five times larger than humans, study finds.

flag Researchers found that yodelling monkeys can produce much larger frequency jumps in their calls than humans can, due to special throat structures called vocal membranes. flag These structures, lost in human evolution, allow monkeys to create complex vocal patterns, with jumps up to five times larger than in human yodels. flag This ability may help monkeys communicate more effectively in their social groups.
