Headline: Chimpanzees Display Human-like Conversational Skill
Caption: Chimpanzees Display Human-like Conversational Skills. BBC reports that Chimpanzees, like humans, have quick, turn-taking conversations waiting only a fraction of a second to 'speak' in response to gestures and facial expressions. Researchers, including Prof. Cat Hobaiter from the University of St Andrews, found that chimps engage in fast-paced communication sometimes interrupting each other or taking longer pauses. This study, published in Current Biology, highlights evolutionary similarities in human and chimpanzee conversation.
