Researchers at the University of Geneva have found that specific regions of the human auditory cortex respond particularly strongly to chimpanzee vocalizations compared with those of other primates, including bonobos and macaques. The work, published as a reviewed preprint in eLife, suggests that human brain areas involved in voice processing are also tuned to certain nonhuman primate calls, reflecting shared evolutionary and acoustic roots.
