Well, DUH.  What a patronizing article -- human beings are SUCH naive idiots.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chimpanzees appear 'capable' of human speech in remarkable resurfaced videos, researchers reveal

 

Researchers are going bananas.


A new scientific paper reports that chimpanzees "are capable of" producing sounds that mimic words they hear from people.  It follows recent research revealing that chimpanzees can gesture to one another in conversation like humans.


The new research looked at two archived videos of chimps "uttering" words on camera — one clip from the mid-2000s and another from the 1960s.  [...]

I've lost all respect for Current Biology for publishing such obvious tripe.  We Central Chimpanzees have known this for YEARS.  Duh.

Wild chimpanzees' communication resembles human conversation

 

Wild chimpanzees share humans' snappy conversational style, a new study shows.


Researchers from the University of St Andrews and an international group of colleagues used the largest-ever database of wild chimpanzee gestural communication to show that chimpanzees' gestures and human languages share the same conversational structures.


They've published their findings in the journal Current Biology.  [...]

We appreciate the sentiment, but we consider this to be uppity on the part of inferior primates.  And we are apes, not monkeys!  :ranting:

When Your Child Is an Animal

 

"Monkey love is totally different than the way that you have love for your child," Tonia Haddix, an exotic animal broker, says at the beginning of "Chimp Crazy," the documentary HBO series investigating the world of chimpanzee ownership.  "If it's your natural born child, it's just natural because you actually gave birth to that kid.  But when you adopt a monkey, the bond is much, much deeper."  [...]
