Resumen de Baboon speech talents get a hearing at last
Baboon grunts and barks have more in common with human speech than they thought. The monkeys routinely produce five of the distinct vowel sounds found in their languages. Researchers typically link their ability to produce a range of vowels with the low position of the human voice box, or larynx, in the throat. Non-human primates have a high larynx, hence are incapable of producing many vowel-like sounds.
