Scientists discover bonobos combine sounds into complex meanings, similar to human language.
Scientists from the University of Zurich found that bonobos, closely related to humans, can combine basic vocal sounds into complex meanings, a trait once thought to be unique to humans.
By studying 300 aspects of bonobo calls in the wild, researchers decoded the apes' communication, revealing that specific sounds like grunts and yelps form phrases with meanings beyond their individual components.
This discovery suggests a shared evolutionary link in language abilities between humans and certain primates.
