Monkeys could talk like humans, recording

It sounds like the gentle whisper of someone proposing marriage.

But the recording below is actually the sound of how a monkey could speak, if it had the brain power for language.

Scientists at Princeton have discovered that monkeys have a vocal anatomy which is capable of 'clearly intelligible' speech, just like humans.

So the fact that they don't speak is down to differences in brain structure which suggests that human speech stems from the unique evolution and is not linked to vocalization-related anatomical differences between humans and primates.

"Now nobody can say that it's something about the vocal anatomy that keeps monkeys from being able to speak -- it has to be something in the brain," said Dr Asif Ghazanfar, a Princeton University.

Could talk like humans? They already do. Have you never heard any broadcasts from Parliament?

I dread to think what other experiments they are doing on these monkeys to fees the curiosity of the human mind? what possible advantage can this have for the monkeys?

They can sling insults and one-liners rather lumps of doodoo.  They've got to eat with those mits.  And play cards!

I don't understand why they don't just start chatting, then. I mean, they're already capable of sign language.

well, they said in the OP they lack something in brain development to use language as we do

Sounds like someone has too much time and money on their hands.
