Scientists look to apes for language origin clues

Very interesting to see the continuation of gestures from our common ancestors into different species today.

But I have to say that many members of homo sapiens may have learnt more advanced language, but still communicate like apes...

Hehheh, I think your language skills and also the content of your communication is not "ape-like" at all!

I was thinking of communications by certain politicians (advanced language skills, but simian content), as well as some taxi drivers and traffic cops in various countries (intricate but confusing gestures).
