Scientists have found similarities between babies and chimpanzees
Researchers from Holland have found similarities between the laughter of chimpanzees and babies that are 3 to 18 months old. Scientific article published in Biology Letters.
It turned out that children and these animals laugh the same way. Babies begin to do this as they exhale or sigh. Chimpanzees laugh in the same way. Moreover, over the years, people switch to laughter only when they exhale, this is due to the fact that such laughter sounds louder, that is, it expresses a sense of joy brighter.
It turns out that children inherited a behavioral repertoire from a common ancestor with primates.
Recall that both chimpanzees and humans belong to the hominid family. Gorillas and t orangutans also enter there.
Earlier, the first 3D primate brain map was created in China. The study will help to better understand the cause of neurodegenerative diseases.
