科学家发现倭黑猩猩将声音组合成复杂的含义，类似于人类语言。 Scientists discover bonobos combine sounds into complex meanings, similar to human language.

苏黎世大学的科学家发现，与人类密切相关的倭黑猩猩可以将基本的声音组合成复杂的含义，这一特征曾被认为是人类独有的。 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. 通过研究野外倭黑猩猩叫声的 300 个方面，研究人员解码了倭黑猩猩的交流，揭示了咕噜声和吼叫等特定声音形成的短语，其含义超出了其单个组成部分。 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. 这一发现表明,人类和某些灵长类人之间在语言能力方面存在着共同的进化联系。 This discovery suggests a shared evolutionary link in language abilities between humans and certain primates.
