Researchers have discovered that chimpanzees communicate in rapid, back-and-forth gestures similar to human conversations.
Published on July 22 in Current Biology, the study analyzed over 8,500 gestures from 252 chimpanzees across five wild communities in East Africa. They found that chimpanzees engage in "conversations" with short pauses of about 120 milliseconds between gestures, mirroring the quick-paced turn-taking seen in human dialogue.
This suggests that both species might share underlying communication mechanisms. The study highlights that while human languages are diverse, the fundamental structure of rapid conversational exchanges might be more widespread among social animals. Future research aims to explore the origins and reasons behind these communicative behaviors.
