Flexible vocalizations in wild bonobos show similarities to development of human speech

Researchers have found that wild bonobos are able to vocalize in a similar manner to infant humans. Their findings challenge how we think about the evolution of communication and potentially move the dividing line between humans and other apes.

I told my colleagues that PeerJ is a journal where they need to publish if they want their paper to be published quickly and with the strict peer review expected from a good journal.
