研究发现年轻的黑猩猩主要从母亲而不是父亲那里学习沟通方式。 Study finds young chimps learn communication styles primarily from their mothers, not fathers.

对SPLOS生物学的一项新研究表明,年轻的黑猩猩主要从母亲而不是父亲那里学习交流风格。 A new study in PLOS Biology reveals that young chimpanzees learn communication styles mainly from their mothers, not their fathers. 研究人员在其自然栖息地观测到黑猩猩,指出母系亲属有着相似的声势和非vocal行为。 Researchers observed chimpanzees in their natural habitat, noting that maternal relatives share similar vocal and non-vocal behaviors. 这种学习模式可以追溯到黑猩猩和人类的祖先六到八百万年前出现分歧时,这表明这两种物种在如何从主要照料者那里学习方面有相似之处。 This learning pattern could date back to when the ancestors of chimps and humans diverged six to eight million years ago, suggesting similarities in how both species learn from primary caretakers.
